Colombia: The U.S. Pulse Market in Colombia

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Colombian demand for U.S. pulses (dry peas, lentils and chickpeas) has been constrained because of the competition with Canada, which entered into a free trade agreement with Colombia in 2011. While the U.S.-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement (CTPA) has leveled the playing field for U.S. producers to compete with foreign competitors, serious challenges remain. U.S. producers now need to compete on quality and price with Canada.
