Market shape
Colombia's palm oil complex shipped US$2,210.0M over the window at a blended $1.21/kg. Mexico is the anchor buyer at US$457.2M — regional proximity dominates the trade.
Provenance caveat: free zones masquerade as partners
US$343.4M of the group's value is booked against “ZFP de Barranquilla” — a permanent free-zone entity recorded as a partner country in the source data. Treat it as a routing artifact, not a sovereign destination, when ranking markets.
