Colombia: Grain and Feed Update

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   CO2026-0027
In MY 2026/27, Colombia's corn and rice output is forecast to fall, driven mainly by El Niño and by low farmgate prices that have kept producers from expanding planted area. Imports, however, are projected to increase, supported by modest economic growth and competitive international prices. The United States is expected to remain the main supplier of corn and rice, benefiting from preferential access under the U.S.–Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement, while tariffs on Mercosur corn continue to affect regional competition. In the wheat market, Colombia remains almost entirely dependent on imports; Canada continues to be the leading supplier, although U.S. wheat is gaining market share due to competitive pricing and logistical advantages.
