Colombia: Retail Foods

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Even though the Colombian government in 2017 increased the sales tax or value added tax (VAT) from 16 percent to 19 percent, the retail sector continues to thrive because of a robust economy and a growing middle class. Colombia provides great opportunities for U.S. food companies because of this expansion in the retail sector, close proximity to the United States and love of American food and culture.
