Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Argentina dominates Paraguay's soybean exports, accounting for 93% of both value and weight, indicating a tightly aligned bulk trade relationship with no premium gap. This suggests Argentina acts as a bulk processing hub for Paraguay's raw soybeans, prioritizing volume over value-added differentiation. The near-identical value-weight ratios across all top partners (Brazil at 6.8%) reinforce a cost-driven supply chain, optimized for high-volume, low-margin flows. The absence of premium markets highlights Paraguay's role as a raw material supplier. Strategic focus remains on scalable logistics rather than product upgrading.
