Colombia's Carrot Prices Climbed Sharply in W13 Due to Supply Disruptions

Fresh carrot prices surged across Colombia in W13, driven by shrinking supply from central production regions. Medellín recorded a 32% week-on-week (WoW) increase to USD 0.26 per kilogram (kg), while Cartagena saw prices rise 24% WoW to USD 0.49/kg. The consistent shortfalls across multiple markets point to deeper issues in the supply chain, highlighting the country's heavy dependence on central-growing areas and the urgent need for closer monitoring of production and distribution dynamics.
