Colombia: Exporter Guide

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   CO2023-0031
This report seeks to provide an initial road map for U.S. companies exporting food products to Colombia. In 2022, the United States exported $3.7 billion in agricultural products to Colombia, which secured its position as Colombia’s top supplier of food and agricultural products. As a result of evolving consumer preferences, economic growth, and new nutritional regulations, demand for healthy food products and ingredients is growing. The Colombian economy is expected to slow in 2023 due to inflation and lower consumption.
