Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

The UNITED STATES dominates Colombia's confectionery sugar exports, accounting for 22.16% of value but only 17.74% of weight—a Value-Volume Gap signaling premium demand for higher-grade or finished products. The UNITED STATES VIRGIN ISLANDS and PERU follow, with value-weight ratios closely aligned, suggesting balanced trade flows. Notably, SOUTH GEORGIA AND THE SOUTH SANDWICH ISLANDS show a higher value-to-weight ratio (6.75% vs. 5.87%), hinting at niche, higher-margin shipments. The supply chain appears bifurcated: premium markets (U.S.) and bulk hubs (e.g., VENEZUELA, where weight slightly outpaces value). Strategic Takeaway: Colombia’s export strategy prioritizes value capture in key markets while maintaining volume-driven partnerships for raw or intermediate goods.
