March Trend: Colombia Coal coke Export

Coal coke, classified under HS Code 2704 (Coke and semi-coke of coal, of lignite or of peat, whether or not agglomerated; retort carbon.), saw exports decline sharply in March, with volume dropping 22.8% MoM to 239.97M kg and value falling 33.3% to $53.48M. Unit prices also retreated 13.6% to $0.22/kg, reversing February's 14.9% gain. The downturn extends a volatile trend, following January's $101.02M export value and February's 31% volume contraction. New U.S. steel tariffs (25% ad valorem, effective February 10) may have indirectly pressured demand for metallurgical coke inputs. Colombia's exports have now halved by weight since January.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Colombia's coal coke exports, accounting for 40.56% of value but only 31.83% of weight, signaling a premium market for higher-grade or processed coke. In contrast, India’s 19.80% value share vs. 21.14% weight share suggests a bulk hub role, prioritizing raw material volume over value. Ukraine’s stark gap (1.17% value vs. 5.66% weight) further highlights cost-driven trade flows, with low-margin bulk shipments. The structure reveals a supply chain split between premium buyers (Brazil) and price-sensitive bulk processors (India, Ukraine), optimizing for cost over speed.
