Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Argentina dominates Paraguay's soybean oilcake exports, accounting for 96.4% of value and 96.5% of weight, revealing a balanced value-volume gap—indicating Argentina acts as a bulk buyer of standardized product, not a premium market. The near-identical ratios suggest Paraguay’s supply chain is optimized for high-volume, low-margin trade, with Argentina absorbing virtually all output. Minor players like Uruguay (3.2% value share) and Chile (0.3%) are negligible, reinforcing Argentina’s role as the singular trade lifeline. This structure implies minimal diversification risk but heavy dependency on one buyer’s demand stability.
