Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Argentina dominates Paraguay's soybean oil exports, accounting for 89.5% of volume (64.29M) and 88.09% of value (59.86M), reflecting a balanced Value-Volume Gap—indicating stable pricing and no premium/bulk distortion. Brazil, the secondary market (10.26% volume, 11.63% value), shows slight value-weight divergence, suggesting minor quality differentiation. The absence of extreme gaps implies supply chain commoditization, with trade flows optimized for volume efficiency over niche demand. Strategic focus remains on high-volume, price-competitive markets.
