01Why Montserrat? The Export Fingerprint
Montserrat's chart is led by Salt, sulphur, cement, lime, stone, & plaster at 41%, but the supporting blocks matter just as much — the combination is what makes this fingerprint readable.
| # | Export category | Value | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Salt, sulphur, cement, lime, stone, & plaster | $3M | 41.5% |
| 2 | Electrical machinery and electronics | $1M | 14.3% |
| 3 | Aircraft and Spacecraft | $1M | 11.5% |
| 4 | Machinery, mechanical appliances, & parts | $0M | 6.3% |
| 5 | Rubber & articles thereof | $0M | 5.8% |
Total exports: $6M (BACI, 2023 trade flows). The treemap you played is drawn from exactly these numbers.
Together the top five categories cover 79% of Montserrat's export basket — the rest of the chart splinters into the small mosaic blocks along the edge. In Tradle terms: the skill was recognizing the big blocks, not memorizing the fringe.
02How to Solve It
Lead with the giant block. Salt, sulphur, cement, lime, stone, & plaster narrows the world to a short list of exporters; one anchor guess in North America plus the distance clue should close it within three tries.
If you used the hint ladder above, the ideal exit was Hint 3 — the top export practically names the country. Every 1% of proximity equals roughly 200 km, so read your percentage as a radius, not a verdict.
The general method — anchor guess, arrow, proximity math — is covered in our how to play Tradle guide, and the signature-exports cheat sheet lives in the strategy section.
