Colombia’s dairy exports rose 12.8% by volume in January–September 2026 to 11,780 tonnes, worth $47 million, with Venezuela and the United States as the leading buyers. Over the same period, beef and meat by-product export volumes fell about 42% to 16,780 tonnes, while export value declined 27.4%; the peso’s appreciation added pressure to livestock export competitiveness.
Higher dairy export volumes support external demand for Colombian dairy, while weaker beef shipments reduce an outlet for domestic production. The stronger peso may further weigh on export competitiveness, especially for beef.
