Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

The UNITED KINGDOM dominates Paraguay's wood chips exports, accounting for 19.63% of value but only 14.66% of weight, signaling a premium market demanding higher-grade or processed chips. In contrast, BRAZIL shows a stark Value-Volume Gap (2.69% value vs. 12.46% weight), acting as a bulk hub for raw material processing. The overall trade structure leans toward cost-efficiency, with high-volume, lower-value flows to regional partners like Chile and Uruguay, while premium markets (UK, US, Germany) capture disproportionate value. This suggests Paraguay’s export strategy prioritizes mass-volume logistics for raw materials, with selective premiumization.
