Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

The United States dominates Colombia's fresh fruit exports, accounting for 38% of total value but only 34% of weight, signaling a premium market demanding higher-grade produce. Nigeria and the UK follow with disproportionate weight shares (14.7% and 13.8%) relative to value (12.6% and 11%), suggesting bulk-oriented trade flows. China stands out with 10.8% value share from just 4.6% weight, indicating selective, high-value shipments. The structure reveals a dual focus: premium pricing in the US/China vs. volume-driven trade with Africa/Europe, optimizing for both margin and scale.
