FX.co ★ Colombia Exports Rebound in April

Colombia experienced a notable 12.2% increase in exports in March 2025, reaching USD 4.338 billion, a significant turnaround from a 0.8% decline the month before. This rise was largely propelled by a remarkable 50.9% increase in the export of agricultural products, food, and beverages. Key contributors to this surge included unroasted coffee, which soared by 135.5%, and cut flowers and foliage, which rose by 23.4%. Conversely, exports within the fuels and extractive industries segment saw a decline of 12.2%. This downturn was primarily attributed to significant decreases in the export of coal, coke, and briquettes by 55.2%, as well as metal ores and residues, which fell by 15.5%. However, crude oil exports bucked this trend with a rise of 9.9%. Additionally, gold exports experienced a robust increase of 51.1%. The United States maintained its position as Colombia’s leading export destination, accounting for 32.3% of total exports, with Panama and China following at 11% and 4.7%, respectively.
