Colombia Food and Beverages Sector Report H1 2025

Colombia's food and beverage sector accounts for 27% of the country's manufacturing industry. The sector has endured a complex and uneven performance, reflecting both global macroeconomic pressures and localised climatic shocks. The sector's Gross Value Added (GVA) at constant 2015 prices contracted by 0.77% y/y, following a more pronounced decline in 2023. Despite this marginal improvement, the segment remains one of the more subdued components of the broader manufacturing industry, constrained by volatile input prices, infrastructure limitations and external trade imbalances. Nominal GVA stood at COP 51.9tn, reflecting modest growth driven largely by inflationary adjustments rather than real production gains.
