Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
Argentina dominates Paraguay's soybean exports, accounting for 76.4% of value and 76.8% of weight, revealing a balanced Value-Volume Gap—indicating a bulk commodity flow with no premium differentiation. Brazil follows distantly (17.2% value, 16.8% weight), reinforcing the regional reliance on raw soybean trade. The near-identical ratios across top partners suggest cost-driven logistics, prioritizing scale over specialization. This structure highlights Paraguay’s role as a volume-focused supplier to neighboring processing hubs, with minimal high-value diversification. The supply chain is optimized for mass export efficiency, not premium segmentation.
