August Trend: Colombia Sugar candy Export
Sugar candy, classified under HS Code 1704 (Sugar confectionery (including white chocolate), not containing cocoa), saw mixed trends in August 2025, with unit prices jumping 8.42% MoM to $2.87/kg despite a 14.97% drop in export value to $24.53M USD. Shipments contracted sharply by 21.57% MoM to 8.53M kg, reflecting weaker demand or logistical adjustments.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
Venezuela dominates Colombia's sugar candy exports, accounting for 23.4% of value and 23.6% of weight—a balanced Value-Volume Gap indicating stable, mid-tier demand. The U.S. (19.8% value share vs. 15.8% weight) emerges as a Premium Market, paying higher unit prices for specialized products. In contrast, Ecuador (14.3% value, 13.3% weight) and Peru (10.9% value, 11.1% weight) function as Bulk Hubs, prioritizing volume over margin. The structure reveals a split strategy: premium pricing in developed markets (U.S.) and volume-driven trade in regional neighbors. This dual approach optimizes revenue while maintaining regional supply chain dominance.
