Colombia Food and Beverages Sector Report H1 2026

Colombia's food and beverage manufacturing sector ended 2025 with a stronger, but still uneven operating base. The sector's nominal gross value added (GVA) reached COP 56.1tn, while real output grew by 3.3% following weakness during 2023-2024. The sector remained anchored in large domestic consumption categories, with meat and beverages dominating formal processing, and dairy, oils, and fats, and processed fruits and vegetables occupying more specialised positions. DANE's retail and wholesale data point to a healthier commercial environment in 2025, although price sensitivity continued to favour value formats, private labels, and smaller pack sizes.
