How to read this. Each row is where Macedonia [FYROM] imports a material from — the
immediate customs origin, sorted by single-supplier concentration. ⛏ marks a top source that is also
the material's lead miner (a genuine origin); without it, the supplier is a refiner or hub and the real
mine sits further upstream (open the material's profile to see where).
Import-vulnerability index (31/100). A value-weighted average, across Macedonia [FYROM]’s
imports, of each material’s supply-risk index × how concentrated Macedonia [FYROM]’s
own sourcing of it is. High when it buys intrinsically risky materials from a single supplier; lower when
it diversifies. The risk column below is the material’s own score — multiply it by the country’s
share to see where Macedonia [FYROM] is most exposed.
