Colombia has it, Europe needs it

YOUR EXPORT OPPORTUNITY

Colombia is known for its natural richness and is for this reason a very popular IPD partner country. This is because many products are grown and produced there, which are in high demand on the European market:

  • Tropical fruits, which are seasonally available in Colombia for an above-average period of time, are interesting for European buyers – certificates such as GLOBAL.G.A.P, HACCP, Organic or Fairtrade are important for export to Europe.
  • Unique ingredients extracted from the diverse plants of Colombia – are needed by European companies – especially for the production of cosmetics and pharmaceutical products.
  • Popular cut flowers such as carnations, hydrangeas and chrysanthemums that European wholesale and retail florists need in abundance.
  • Bamboo and sturdy plantation teak are in demand in Europe for their good workability and attractive grain, and should come from guaranteed legal sources.

Enough good reasons for the Import Promotion Desk to search for suitable exporters in Colombia –are you perhaps one of them? Then we look forward to hearing from you!

IPD's commitment in Colombia

IPD has been active in Colombia since 2015. It supports producers of natural ingredients, fresh fruit & vegetables, cut flowers and sustainable wood products and accompanies them on their way to the European market. Due to its different climatic zones, Colombia offers a high level of biodiversity and a wealth of raw materials and varieties. The free trade agreement with the EU in 2013 and the peace agreement between the Colombian government and the FARC guerrillas in 2016 have set the course for a positive development of the country and its foreign trade.
