Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
The United States dominates Colombia's banana exports, accounting for 27.6% of value and 27.0% of weight, revealing a balanced Value-Volume Gap—indicating stable demand for standardized quality. Belgium, the second-largest market, shows a slight premium tilt (20.1% value vs. 20.8% weight), suggesting marginal preference for higher-grade shipments. The tight alignment across top destinations (e.g., UK, Italy) signals a cost-driven supply chain, optimized for bulk efficiency rather than niche segmentation. Strategic focus remains on high-volume, mid-tier markets.

Colombia HS Code 0803 Breakdown & Value Logic
Colombia's HS Code 0803 export of bananas is overwhelmingly dominated by sub-code 0803901100 (fresh/dried bananas, excluding plantains), accounting for 91% of value and 94% of weight (yTrade data). The sheer volume and low unit price (missing data implies bulk pricing) reveal a market driven by high-volume, low-margin trade, with plantains (24% frequency but just 8.5% value) playing a secondary role. The negligible presence of niche sub-codes (e.g., 0803902000) confirms Colombia’s HS Code 0803 export prioritizes mass-market scalability over premium segmentation. This is a classic bulk-commodity profile—scale trumps specialization.
