Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
The U.S. dominates Colombia’s confectionery sugar exports, accounting for 20.8% of value but only 18% of weight, signaling a premium market demanding higher-grade or finished products. Venezuela, however, shows a near-parity value-weight ratio (20.1% vs. 19.7%), suggesting it functions as a bulk hub for raw or minimally processed sugar. The broader pattern reveals a split strategy: premium pricing in the U.S. and volume-driven trade with regional neighbors, indicating a supply chain optimized for both value capture and cost efficiency.
