Tridge summary

Colombian grape exports saw a significant surge in 2020, with a 660% increase in revenue compared to 2019, amounting to USD 201,584. This growth is primarily due to the international sales of Top Fruits, a company based in Colombia, to the Netherlands. Starting with just 18 tonnes of grape shipments in 2020, Top Fruits aims to expand its exports to other European countries, targeting a total of 600 tonnes for 2021. The company faces strong competition from grape-producing countries like Chile, Peru, and the United States but is confident in its high-quality produce. ProColombia, the international trade promotion corporation, praises the industry's potential for growth, given Colombia's climate and soil conditions suitable for grape cultivation. Additionally, there is a noted global increase in imports of fresh grapes, offering a significant opportunity for Colombia to diversify its export portfolio.
