Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Colombia's pesticides exports, accounting for 48.9% of volume but only 29.7% of value—a clear bulk hub dynamic, indicating low-margin, high-volume trade for raw or generic products. In contrast, Mexico and Peru show a premium market tilt (value share > weight share), suggesting demand for higher-grade formulations. The structure reveals a cost-driven supply chain, with Brazil serving as a mass distributor while niche markets like Peru and Mexico absorb value-added products. Strategic focus should balance volume efficiency (Brazil) with premium diversification (Mexico/Peru).
