# Colombia Rice TRQ Unfilled for the First Time | USDA Foreign Agricultural Service

> U.S. rice exports to Colombia have fallen to just $5 million through September 2021, and the tariff-rate quota under the US-Colombia trade agreement went unfilled for the first time. The decline reflects a larger Colombian crop, lower domestic prices and stronger competition from South American exporters.

## Why it matters

An unfilled quota signals weaker US rough and milled rice export demand to Colombia, a modest bearish factor for US rice prices.
