How concentrated Ecuador's trade is across its top partner countries, computed from currently-tracked trade flows (not the historical 1997–2015 World Bank dataset). Measures country-to-country concentration only — Ecuador's trade_flows records don't carry product-level detail to break this down further.

Every one of Ecuador's 157 real trading partners reported for 2025 under UN Comtrade (EC) — a complete, deduplicated partner breakdown for this exact country/source/period combination, not a global top-N slice.
Firm-level entry/exit/survival dynamics for Ecuador's exporting firms, whole economy (not broken down by product) so every figure below is a genuine national rate — never an average across incompatible product categories. See /exporter-dynamics to compare Ecuador against all 68 covered countries.
| Metric | Latest value | Year | Trend (2002–2014) |

The 2014 mean is 32x the median — a small number of large exporting firms account for most of the export value; the typical firm exports far less than the average figure suggests.
