Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

The U.S. dominates Colombia’s cane sugar exports, accounting for 21.56% of value but only 14.89% of weight, signaling a premium market demanding higher-grade or processed sugar. Peru and Ecuador follow as bulk hubs, with weight shares (16.31%, 13.64%) exceeding value shares (12.04%, 10.53%), indicating raw material flows for further processing. Spain’s 5.36% value share vs. 2.73% weight share suggests niche, high-value demand. The structure reveals a dual strategy: premium exports to the U.S. and EU, while neighboring economies absorb bulk volumes for refining. Supply chains prioritize cost-efficient bulk logistics to regional hubs, with value capture concentrated in developed markets.
