Data and Analysis
In marketing year (MY) 2025/2026, Colombia’s corn production is forecast to remain unchanged at 1.5 million metric tons (MMT) due to low domestic prices discouraging acreage expansion.
Colombia’s retail food sector continues to grow, driven by a diverse market structure and increasing consumer demand for value-added products. In 2024, Colombia remained the sixth largest destination for U.S. agricultural exports, reaching $4.4 billion, a 19 percent increase from 2023.
On September 10, 2025, Colombia officially reopened its market to U.S. live cattle under the same import requirements as previously established, following successful discussions between USDA Bogota and Colombia's Plant and Health Authority (ICA).
