2025 Aug Paraguay Wheat (HS1001) Export Snapshot: Sharp Decline

August Trend: Paraguay Wheat Export

Wheat, classified under HS Code 1001 (Wheat and meslin), saw exports decline sharply in August, with value plunging 33.6% MoM to $5.20M USD and volume dropping 33.1% MoM to 18.59M kg. The downturn follows a broader retreat from April's peak, though unit prices held steady at $0.28/kg, down just 0.8% MoM. The slump coincides with new Section 232 tariffs on copper derivatives effective August 1, which may have indirectly disrupted trade flows for other commodities. Paraguay's wheat exports remain volatile, with August volumes nearly 75% below April's high.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's wheat exports with 100% value and weight share, revealing a bulk hub dynamic where volume (18.59M) aligns perfectly with value (5.20M), indicating commodity-grade trade with no premium differentiation. This suggests Paraguay’s wheat flows to Brazil are cost-driven, likely for processing or re-export, rather than targeting high-end demand. The absence of a value-volume gap implies standardized pricing and minimal product tiering. Strategic takeaway: Paraguay’s export structure is lean and volume-focused, prioritizing scale over niche markets.
