We consider structural change of a world trade-flow network for different commodities from 1995 to 2013. A minimum spanning tree is generated from the trade flow data, and we investigate the hierarchical organization of the tree by changing the hub node. Only a few countries are the hub nodes for many of the commodities. We observed the structural transitions, from a chain-like tree (many countries are hub nodes) to a bi-starlike tree (only two countries are hub nodes). In the bi-starlike tree, China and Germany are the only two hub nodes.
