Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Italy dominates Colombia's palm oil exports, accounting for 29.5% of value but 31.3% of weight, revealing a slight bulk hub tendency where volume slightly outpaces value—suggesting Italy serves as a processing or redistribution node for raw or semi-processed palm oil. The Dominican Republic and Honduras follow with similar weight-value gaps, reinforcing a cost-driven export structure prioritizing mass over premium pricing. Notably, the U.S. and Canada show tighter value-weight ratios, hinting at niche demand for higher-grade products. The data underscores a supply chain optimized for volume efficiency, with Italy as the anchor for bulk trade.

Colombia HS Code 1511 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals crude palm oil (HS 1511100000) dominates Colombia's January 2025 exports, capturing 86% of volume and 82% of value—far outpacing refined variants (HS 1511900000). The stark volume-value skew confirms Colombia’s HS Code 1511 export strategy prioritizes bulk, low-margin crude oil over processed alternatives, likely targeting price-sensitive markets. With no unit price data, the dominance of crude suggests competitive pricing rather than premium quality drives demand. This reinforces a volume-first approach in Colombia’s palm oil trade, where scale trumps refinement.
