Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Ecuador dominates Colombia's refrigerators and freezers exports, accounting for 25.28% of value but only 18.51% of weight, signaling a premium market demand for higher-grade or specialized units. Guatemala follows with a similar gap (16.52% value vs. 18.41% weight), reinforcing the trend of value-driven trade over bulk logistics. Argentina, however, shows the opposite pattern (13.98% value vs. 21.06% quantity), acting as a bulk hub for cost-sensitive shipments. The structure reveals a split strategy: premium markets (Ecuador, Guatemala) prioritize margins, while bulk flows (Argentina) optimize volume. Supply chains here balance high-value specialization with mass-market efficiency.
