Colombia: Assessment of Food Safety Risk Analysis Needs

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

The United States is poised to exceed past record levels of food and agricultural exports to Colombia, which in 2015 was the 8th largest market worldwide with $2.4 billion in sales. The GOC continues to reassess and develop new regulatory standards with detrimental trade implications, including Decree 539 of 2014 and Resolution 719 of 2015. Since December 2015, the joint implementation of these regulations has resulted in approximately $250,000 worth of consumer-oriented products delayed at ports. This report assesses these new regulatory standards and  how to resolve these issues.
