Rice-growing regions in Colombia warned that proposed tax bill 477 of 2026 could raise production costs and weaken the sector’s competitiveness. Their concerns include applying VAT to rice seed, paddy rice, fertilizers and agrochemicals that are currently excluded, as well as new tax-administration obligations for producers.
