Colombian pork producers supported the government’s Economic Rescue Law but warned that raising VAT on key production inputs from 5% to 19% could increase sector costs and strain cash flow. Porkcolombia said the change could add more than 130 billion pesos in costs, particularly for corn, soybeans, soybean meal, and compound feed, and called for faster VAT refunds.
Higher taxes on feed inputs would raise costs for Colombian livestock producers and could support local feed ingredient prices or feed costs, while squeezing pork-sector margins if refunds are delayed.
