The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) reveals how concentrated a country's export basket is. Diversified economies spread risk; concentrated ones depend on a few products.
Diversification score (1 - HHI); higher means exports spread across more products
High HHI signals dependence on few export products (typically resource-dependent economies)
Some countries export massive volumes at low unit prices (commodities), while others export small volumes at high unit prices (technology, luxury goods)
Physical quantity of exports in metric tons
Average $/ton across all exports; high unit values indicate processed, high-tech, or luxury goods
Each bubble is a country; size shows total export value. Commodity exporters cluster bottom-right (high volume, low unit price); high-tech manufacturers sit top-left
