Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Guatemala dominates Colombia's refrigerators and freezers exports, accounting for 18.6% of value but only 19.8% of weight, indicating a balanced trade with slight premium demand for higher-grade units. In contrast, Argentina shows a bulk hub pattern (13.6% value vs. 14.3% weight), suggesting cost-driven volume shipments. The United States Virgin Islands stand out with 4.4% value from just 0.7% weight, signaling a niche premium market. The overall structure reveals a dual strategy: high-value exports to selective markets (e.g., USVI) alongside volume-driven flows to regional hubs (e.g., Argentina). Supply chains prioritize regional efficiency over high-margin specialization.
