Colombia: Food Processing Ingredients Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   CO2024-0003
Colombia’s food and beverage industry decreased by two percent in 2023 due to stagnating economic growth. Demand for healthy food ingredients is growing in Colombia as a result of both shifting consumer preferences and new nutritional regulations for imported and locally produced products. The United States remains the top international supplier to Colombia’s food ingredients sector.
