How concentrated Rwanda'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 — Rwanda's trade_flows records don't carry product-level detail to break this down further.

Every one of Rwanda's 108 real trading partners reported for 2022 under UN Comtrade (RW) — 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 Rwanda'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 Rwanda against all 68 covered countries.
| Metric | Latest value | Year | Trend (2001–2012) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of exporting firms | 1,017 | 2012 | |
| Incumbent exporting firms | 375 | 2012 | |
| New entrant exporting firms | 642 | 2012 | |
| Exiting exporting firms | 410 | 2012 | |
| Firm entry rate | 63.1% | 2012 | |
| Firm exit rate | 52.2% | 2012 | |
| Exporter concentration (EDD HHI, 0–1 scale) | 0.029 | 2012 | |
| Product categories exported (distinct HS4 codes) | 521 | 2012 | |
| Avg. export value per exporting firm | $436.6K | 2012 | |
| Median export value per exporting firm | $6.2K | 2012 | |
| Avg. destination countries per exporting firm | 1.5 | 2013 | |
| Median destination countries per exporting firm | 1.0 | 2013 |
The 2012 mean is 71x 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.
