Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Argentina dominates Paraguay's soybean oil exports, accounting for 77.65% of value vs. 80.30% of weight, indicating a bulk hub relationship where volume outweighs premium pricing—suggesting Argentina processes raw materials at scale.

This structure reveals Paraguay’s export strategy prioritizes commodity-scale efficiency over niche premium markets.
