Tridge summary

Between January and May of 2021, Colombia's agricultural and agroindustrial exports saw a significant increase of 19.2%, totaling USD 3,784 million, which is USD 604 million more than the previous year. This growth is largely due to the higher exports of non-traditional products such as milk, Tahiti lime, beef, mango, and Hass avocado, as well as traditional products like coffee and flowers. The United States, Belgium, and the Netherlands were the top buyers of these exports in the first five months of 2021. This success is attributed to the government's 'Health Diplomacy' efforts, which have led to 49 new market access in 24 countries.
