Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

The UNITED STATES dominates Colombia's sugar candy exports, accounting for 18.06% of value but only 13.54% of weight—a Value-Volume Gap signaling premium demand for higher-grade or finished products. In contrast, VENEZUELA and PERU show tighter value-weight ratios, suggesting bulk trade or mid-tier pricing. The presence of smaller markets like COSTA RICA and SOUTH GEORGIA with higher value ratios hints at niche, high-margin opportunities. Strategic Takeaway: Colombia’s export structure prioritizes premium markets (U.S.) while maintaining cost-efficient bulk flows to regional neighbors.
