Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

The United States dominates Colombia's confectionery sugar exports, accounting for 18.97% of value but only 16.57% of weight, signaling a premium market demanding higher-grade or finished products. Venezuela and Ecuador follow closely, with value-weight ratios nearly aligned, suggesting balanced trade flows. However, Panama and Chile show a bulk-hub tendency (weight share > value share), likely serving as transit or processing points. The structure reveals a dual strategy: premium focus on the U.S. and cost-efficient bulk trade with regional partners. Supply chains are optimized for value capture in key markets while leveraging proximity for volume.

Colombia HS Code 1704 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals HS 1704901000 dominates Colombia's June 2025 exports, capturing 72% of value and 84% of volume—highlighting a market skewed toward low-cost bulk sugar confectionery (excluding chewing gum). The remaining sub-codes (e.g., 1704909000) collectively contribute just 27% of value, reinforcing a volume-driven strategy over premium pricing. This Colombia HS Code 1704 Export pattern suggests a focus on high-frequency, mass-market demand, with minimal traction for niche products like chewing gum (under 2% combined share). The absence of unit price data further implies competition on scale, not value-add. Expect stability in bulk trade flows unless premiumization trends emerge.
