Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

The United States dominates Colombia's fresh fruit exports, accounting for 61.7% of value and 61.7% of weight, indicating a balanced trade structure where volume and value align—suggesting stable, large-scale demand for standardized produce. However, China (7.8% value vs. 2.3% weight) and the UAE (0.8% value vs. 0.4% weight) show premium market traits, with higher value per unit, likely driven by quality-sensitive demand. The absence of major bulk hubs implies Colombia’s exports are directly consumed rather than reprocessed, optimizing for market access over cost arbitrage.
