| Tracked flow records | 547 | Raw count of trade-flow records in the database naming Mali as an origin or destination — a record count, never a summed dollar total. |
| Port coverage | 0of 0 | Ports catalogued for Mali with verified cargo statistics tracked on PortIndex. |
How concentrated Mali'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 — Mali's trade_flows records don't carry product-level detail to break this down further.

Firm-level entry/exit/survival dynamics for Mali'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 Mali against all 68 covered countries.
| Metric | Latest value | Year | Trend (2005–2008) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of exporting firms | 328 | 2008 | |
| Incumbent exporting firms | 188 | 2008 | |
| New entrant exporting firms | 140 | 2008 | |
| Exiting exporting firms | 126 | 2008 | |
| Firm entry rate | 42.7% | 2008 | |
| Firm exit rate | 40.1% | 2008 | |
| Exporter concentration (EDD HHI, 0–1 scale) | 0.171 | 2008 | |
| Product categories exported (distinct HS4 codes) | 460 | 2008 | |
| Avg. export value per exporting firm | $2.6M | 2008 | |
| Median export value per exporting firm | $43.3K | 2008 | |
| Avg. destination countries per exporting firm | 2.1 | 2009 | |
| Median destination countries per exporting firm | 1.0 | 2009 |
The 2008 mean is 61x 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.
