America's share of Ecuador's exports fell from 45% to 19%

Claim types Fact

UN Comtrade (UN Statistics Division), total goods exports reported by Ecuador to the United States, China and the world, US$, annual, read from the UN Comtrade API via the progrss vault (§4.11, un-comtrade passes value_checks, 24 matches, 0 mismatches; indicators COMTRADE.X.842, X.156, X.0). Shares are progrss calculations: exports to the partner divided by exports to the world, same year. World $24.96 bn (2013), $22.33 bn (2019), $31.56 bn (2024); United States $11.13 bn, $6.73 bn, $6.36 bn (44.6%, 30.2%, 20.2%); China $0.57 bn, $2.90 bn, $4.64 bn (2.3%, 13.0%, 14.7%). 'Everyone else' is the remainder (53.1%, 56.9%, 65.1%) and is the largest slice because it holds all other buyers; the vault holds only twelve named partners, so it is not split. 2025 values, which Comtrade lists so far for Ecuador, put the United States at 18.5% and China at 16.1% ($6.89 bn and $5.99 bn of $37.15 bn); No cause is claimed; oil, shrimp and bananas all weigh in Ecuador's exports. Claim type: Fact. Values (US$, as reported by Ecuador): world 24.96 bn (2013), 22.33 bn (2019), 31.56 bn (2024), 37.15 bn (2025); United States 11.13 / 6.73 / 6.36 / 6.89 bn; China 0.57 / 2.90 / 4.64 / 5.99 bn. Ecuador's 2025 annual data was released to Comtrade on 19 Aug 2026 as a full year (Ecuador reports no monthly data). In 2025 dollar sales to the United States rose 8% while the share fell, because total exports jumped 18%. Live re-read of the Comtrade preview API matched the vault for every value.
