Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Ecuador dominates Colombia's refrigerators and freezers exports, accounting for 16.7% of value but only 16.0% of weight, indicating a balanced trade structure with no significant premium or bulk bias. However, Guatemala and Argentina show a value-weight gap (11.5% value vs. 12.7% weight for Guatemala; 11.1% value vs. 11.1% weight for Argentina), suggesting these markets absorb mid-tier products without extreme price or volume skews. The lack of a stark premium hub implies Colombia’s exports are cost-competitive but not high-margin, optimized for regional affordability rather than premium specialization.
