Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
The U.S. dominates Colombia’s sugar candy exports, accounting for 21% of value but only 17% of weight, signaling a premium market demanding higher-grade or finished products. Venezuela, the second-largest by value, shows a tighter value-weight alignment (17% vs. 17%), suggesting bulk trade dynamics. Notably, Spain’s value share (2.5%) doubles its weight share (1.5%), hinting at niche, high-margin demand. The structure reveals a bifurcated supply chain: premium focus (U.S., Spain) and volume-driven flows (Venezuela, Peru), optimizing for both margin and scale.
