Colombia: Food Processing Ingredients Annual
Link to report:
The United States remains the top international supplier to Colombia's food ingredients sector. Lower consumption levels in Colombia led to a 0.7 percent decrease in food and beverage industry production in 2024, mainly resulting from Colombia's new healthy taxes, high domestic transportation costs, and lower household disposable incomes. As a result of both shifting consumer preferences and new nutritional regulations for imported and locally produced products, demand for healthy ingredients in the food processing industry in Colombia is growing. This has translated into increased interest in U.S. ingredients such as oil seed flours and meals, fruits, and nut flours and meals, among others.
