Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
The United States dominates Colombia's banana exports, accounting for 23.9% of value and 22.9% of weight, indicating a balanced value-volume gap—suggesting stable demand for standard-grade produce. However, Belgium (18.5% weight vs. 18.0% value) and the UK (18.7% weight vs. 19.9% value) show marginal premium shifts, hinting at slight quality differentiation in European markets. The supply chain is volume-driven, with top partners absorbing bulk shipments, reflecting Colombia’s role as a cost-efficient mass supplier rather than a niche premium player.
