Cut a supplier
Pick a stage of one of the ten chains and an exporter, and cut its exports: who loses what share of their supply, who could fill the gap, and what passes one stage down the chain. First-round arithmetic on 2024 trade shares, not a forecast.

Who could fill the gap: Denmark, 48.4% of its imports
The suppliers it already buys from, in proportion to their shares: each would have to ship 94% more. Share now, then the part of the gap it would take:
- Sweden 11.7% +11 pp
- Belgium 9.4% +8.8 pp
- Netherlands 6.1% +5.7 pp
- Czechia 6% +5.6 pp
- Spain 4.9% +4.6 pp
- France 4.2% +4 pp
- Italy 1.8% +1.7 pp
- Korea 1.7% +1.6 pp
The largest other exporters, by share of world exports
- Japan 12.4% · already a supplier
- China 9.2%
- Korea 7.3% · already a supplier
- Mexico 7.1%
- United States 6.7%
First-round arithmetic on trade shares, not a forecast: an importer’s exposure is its import share from the shocked suppliers × the cut. No stocks, no new suppliers, no price changes.
Suppliers are read from the flows the map stores for the stage: each importer’s ten largest suppliers and every flow above 0.05% of world trade; the rest are “smaller suppliers”. The next stage and the use share come from the chain file.
