The US’s 10% tariff imposition, effective April 5, may have spurred pre-deadline shipments, though its full impact remains unclear.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Mexico dominates Colombia's pesticides exports, accounting for 24.6% of value but only 15.08% of weight—a clear Value-Volume Gap signaling demand for high-grade formulations. Brazil, however, shows the opposite trend (37.51% weight share vs. 23.76% value share), acting as a bulk hub for raw or lower-value products. The presence of re-export zones like the Northern Mariana Islands (7.9% weight share, 2.45% value) hints at logistics-driven trade flows. This structure reveals a dual strategy: premium markets (Mexico) offset by cost-efficient bulk channels (Brazil). Supply chains prioritize value segmentation over speed.

Colombia HS Code 3808 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals fungicides (HS 3808921900) dominate Colombia's April 2025 exports, capturing 34% of value and 20% of shipment frequency—outpacing herbicides and insecticides. The high value share despite moderate volume suggests premium pricing, likely due to retail-ready packaging and specialized formulations. The remaining sub-codes cluster in lower-value, high-volume segments (e.g., HS 3808929200 at 29% quantity but only 7.5% value), indicating a bifurcated market: high-margin fungicides drive revenue, while bulk herbicides anchor volume. This reflects Colombia’s strategic focus on value-added agrochemicals within HS Code 3808 exports.
