Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
China dominates Colombia's copper scrap exports, accounting for 82.2% of value but only 77.8% of weight, signaling a premium market demand for higher-grade material. India, the second-largest partner, shows a tighter value-weight gap (11.2% vs. 14.4%), suggesting a bulk hub role for raw processing. The remaining markets (Thailand, Malaysia, Italy) are marginal, with value-weight ratios aligning closely, indicating standardized trade flows. This structure reveals Colombia’s export strategy prioritizes high-value buyers (China) while maintaining secondary channels for volume dispersal (India). The supply chain is value-optimized, not logistics-driven.
