"The Colombia-U.S. Business Matchmaking Forum will be the most significant event of its kind, providing U.S. companies with direct access to Colombian suppliers. With the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between our countries offering substantial benefits, this forum is a key opportunity for U.S. importers."

Colombia: A Strategic Trade Partner
Colombia's robust 200-year diplomatic and trade relationship with the United States has made it a principal ally in Latin America. The FTA facilitates trade through tariff exemptions, making Colombia an attractive partner for U.S. businesses. The country’s advanced port infrastructure, highlighted by the World Bank’s 2023 Logistics Performance Index, positions it as a key player in Global Value Chains (GVC) and nearshoring.
Top-Ranked Port Efficiency
Colombia's Port of Cartagena is ranked the third most efficient port globally, according to the 2023 Container Port Performance Index by the World Bank and S&P Global. It also leads Latin America in market connectivity. Additionally, the Buenaventura Port's connectivity ranks eleventh in the region, showcasing Colombia's export potential.
