Colombia Food and Beverages Sector Report H2 2025

In H1 2025, Colombia's food and beverage manufacturing recovered from the low-growth phase that characterised most of 2023-2024. GVA expanded due to fewer restrictions on the supply side: availability and pricing of key agricultural inputs improved, plants operated more consistently, and the stock adjustments accumulated over the previous two years began to ease. The price environment also turned. After a period of price declines, costs returned to mild inflation as international prices for vegetable oils and other processed-food inputs recovered, feeding into producer and consumer prices. On the consumption side, demand conditions remained mixed. Basic food categories held up as inflation eased and purchasing power was supported by higher disposable income, but spending on beverages and other non-essential items remained weak, reflecting households prioritising essentials and healthier alternatives in the market.
