Join the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and WUSATA on a trade mission to Bogota, June 4-7, 2019, and learn how the U.S.-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement (CTPA) is opening doors, creating new opportunities, and helping U.S. agricultural exports flourish to record levels.
Since CTPA entered into force in 2012, U.S. farm and food exports to Colombia have more than doubled, reaching a record $2.9 billion in 2018. Most notably, increased feed demand for the country’s expanding pork and poultry industries, along with favorable tariffs under CTPA, have led to rapid growth of U.S. corn and soybean exports to the market. Since 2012, exports of U.S. consumer-oriented goods (including pork, poultry, pet food, tree nuts and beef) have also significantly increased, driven by demand from an expanding middle class.
While in Bogota, local staff from USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) will arrange business-to-business meetings with potential customers from Colombia and Panama. FAS and industry trade experts will also guide you through in-depth briefings and site visits where you will discover the many advantages U.S. exporters have over competitors in the region.
