2025 Jun Colombia Palm oil (HS1511) Export Snapshot: Vol Dip

June Trend: Colombia Palm oil Export

Palm oil, classified under HS Code 1511 (Palm oil and its fractions, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified), saw exports decline in June, with value dropping 24.67% month-on-month to $72.66M and volume falling 21.91% to 64.45M kg. Unit prices continued their downward trend, slipping 3.54% to $1.13/kg, marking the fourth consecutive monthly decrease. The pullback follows a sharp contraction in May, suggesting softening demand or price pressures. Colombia's recent tariff adjustments, including expanded duty-free lines, may have influenced trade flows, though the direct impact remains unclear. The June figures reflect a cooling market after Q2's volatile swings.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Colombia's palm oil exports, accounting for 37.1% of value but only 39.2% of weight—a slight Value-Volume Gap indicating balanced trade, likely for mid-grade products. Spain, the second-largest partner, shows a tighter gap (16.9% value vs. 18.9% weight), reinforcing a bulk-focused flow. Notably, Cuba’s higher value share (8.2%) vs. weight (5.4%) hints at premium demand, possibly for refined oil. The structure leans toward cost-efficient bulk trade, with pockets of higher-value niches. Strategic takeaway: Colombia’s export mix prioritizes volume but capitalizes on selective premium markets.

Colombia HS Code 1511 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals crude palm oil (HS 1511100000) dominates Colombia's June 2025 exports, capturing 89.8% of volume and 85.4% of value—far outpacing refined variants (HS 1511900000). The sheer volume disparity (57.85M vs. 6.60M kg) signals a bulk-driven market, where low-cost crude oil overshadows higher-value processed alternatives. This aligns with Colombia HS Code 1511 Export trends favoring raw commodity scalability over premium refinement. The absence of unit price data suggests price volatility or standardized bulk pricing. Expect continued volume-centric trade unless value-added processing gains traction.
