In 2021, Colombia imported 60,737 tons of dairy products, making it the second highest year for purchases in history despite a decrease in volume and cost compared to 2020. The total cost for these imports was USD 182,305,000, which while lower than 2020, was still 16.3% more than 2019 and 30.1% more than 2016. Skimmed milk powder was the most purchased product, accounting for 43% of the total value. The United States was the primary country of origin for these imports. The reduction in 2021 compared to 2020 was attributed to the exchange rate and the higher international value of powdered milk.
