How to read this diagram
Retained exporter totals for the commodity’s selected primary HS line, in US dollars; not all products or physical tonnage. Use one reporting year. Show up to eight largest positive values and combine any other positive values into one tile. The denominator is the sum of the retained rows, not an independently reported world total. Zero and missing observations receive no area. No economies are counted twice.
Selected primary HS line only. Shares are of retained exporter totals, not the full commodity world market; the exporter list may omit smaller economies. These retained exporters account for 97.0% of the snapshot’s primary-line world trade value. Reporting year 2024; snapshot 2026-10-10T22:48:06.733043+00:00. Acquisition date not supplied.
