Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

The United States dominates Paraguay's wood chips exports, accounting for 26.05% of value but only 21.87% of weight, signaling a premium market demanding higher-grade or processed chips. In contrast, Brazil (15.59% weight share vs. 4.87% value) acts as a bulk hub, likely for raw material processing. The value-volume gap reveals a dual strategy: premium exports to the U.S. and cost-efficient bulk flows to regional hubs like Brazil, optimizing for both margin and scale.
