Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

China dominates Colombia's ferro-alloys exports, accounting for 36.3% of value vs. 35.7% of weight, indicating balanced demand for both volume and quality—likely mid-grade products. Nigeria follows closely (27.9% value, 29.2% weight), reinforcing a bulk-driven trade pattern typical of raw material flows. The absence of a significant value-weight gap across top partners suggests Colombia’s ferro-alloys supply chain prioritizes standardized, cost-efficient shipments over premium or niche markets. Notably, Japan and Italy show slight value premiums (6.4% vs. 6.3% weight, 6.4% vs. 6.0% weight), hinting at selective demand for higher-grade alloys. The structure reveals a volume-first strategy, with China and Nigeria acting as primary anchors for mass-market trade.
