2025 Apr Colombia Cut Flowers (HS 0603) Export Snapshot: Sharp Decline

April Trend: Colombia Cut Flowers Export

Cut Flowers, classified under HS Code 0603 (Cut flowers and flower buds of a kind suitable for bouquets or for ornamental purposes, fresh, dried, dyed, bleached, impregnated or otherwise prepared.), faced a sharp contraction in April, with exports dropping 28.2% MoM to $195.89M and volumes falling 19.6% to 26.12M kg. The decline followed a 10.7% drop in unit prices, coinciding with the imposition of a 10% U.S. tariff on Colombian imports in early April. This reversed the steady growth seen in February and March, where exports had surged 21.8% and 18.1% MoM, respectively. The tariff disruption highlights the sector's vulnerability to sudden policy shifts.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

The United States dominates Colombia's Cut Flowers Export, accounting for 82.66% of value but only 78% of weight, signaling a premium market demanding high-grade products. The UK and Canada follow with smaller shares, but their value-weight gaps are narrower, suggesting balanced trade. Japan and Spain show higher weight than value ratios, hinting at bulk-oriented demand or logistical inefficiencies. The structure reveals a supply chain optimized for premium U.S. demand, with secondary markets playing marginal roles. Strategic focus should remain on high-value U.S. buyers to sustain profitability.
