2025 May Paraguay Wheat (HS1001) Export Snapshot: Vol Dip

May Trend: Paraguay Wheat Export

Wheat, classified under HS Code 1001 (Wheat and meslin), saw exports from Paraguay decline in May, with value dropping 29.14% MoM to $14.17M and volume falling 30.69% to 50.64M kg. This followed April’s sharp surge, where shipments had more than doubled. Unit prices continued rising, up 2.23% to $0.28/kg, marking the fourth consecutive monthly increase. The May pullback aligns with broader trade volatility following April’s universal 10% tariff implementation on imports across all countries. Paraguay’s wheat exports remain elevated compared to Q1 levels despite the monthly contraction.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's wheat exports, accounting for 100% of both value ($14.17M) and weight (50.64M), revealing a balanced trade structure with no value-volume gap. This suggests Brazil serves as a bulk end-market for Paraguay's wheat, likely absorbing raw or minimally processed volumes at competitive prices. The absence of premium pricing indicates trade is driven by cost-efficiency, not product differentiation. With no re-export or domestic staging patterns, Paraguay's supply chain is tightly aligned with Brazil's demand as a primary buyer. This dependency implies vulnerability to shifts in Brazilian import policies or pricing pressures.

Paraguay HS Code 1001 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals 10019900 ("Cereals; wheat and meslin, other than durum wheat") dominates Paraguay's HS Code 1001 exports at 100% frequency and volume, with 50.64M kg shipped in May 2025. The absence of unit price data suggests a bulk-volume market, where Paraguay leverages scale over premium pricing—typical for commodity wheat exports. The remaining sub-codes are negligible, reinforcing a low-margin, high-volume trade pattern. This aligns with Paraguay’s role as a cost-competitive supplier in global grain markets.
