01Why Saint Pierre and Miquelon? The Export Fingerprint
Saint Pierre and Miquelon's chart is led by Preparations of fish, crustacenas, & molluscs at 46%, but the supporting blocks matter just as much — the combination is what makes this fingerprint readable.
| # | Export category | Value | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Preparations of fish, crustacenas, & molluscs | $2M | 46.2% |
| 2 | Fish, Crustaceans & Molluscs | $1M | 31.7% |
| 3 | Plastics & articles thereof | $0M | 5.9% |
| 4 | Glass & glassware | $0M | 3.4% |
| 5 | Optical, photo, & film equipment; medical instruments | $0M | 2.0% |
Total exports: $3M (BACI, 2023 trade flows). The treemap you played is drawn from exactly these numbers.
Together the top five categories cover 89% of Saint Pierre and Miquelon'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. Preparations of fish, crustacenas, & molluscs 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.
