“More than a business matchmaking event, this is a contribution to the expansion of our export network. It helps our national industry grow and expand to new areas as well as give the American businesses an opportunity to explore and acquire our high-quality products manufactured with the highest innovation and attention to detail,” said Maria Claudia Lacouture, ProColombia’s president.

In addition, the Free Trade Agreement between the United States and Colombia has been pivotal to the diversification of products and companies accessing the American market. From January to November 2015, Colombia registered 2,116 companies exporting to the U.S. – the largest number in the trade history between the two countries – mainly driven by the manufacturing and agribusiness industries.

In 2016, the Colombian government will be focused on strengthening its growth of non-traditional products setting an expansion goal of 19.3 percent versus 2015. ProColombia is spearheading virtual meetings to promote communication between companies and buyers to facilitate reliable trade information to U.S. business and enable them to connect effectively with Colombian suppliers.
