Colombia announced a new step in its strategy to internationalize its agricultural sector, following the Philippines' approval of the veterinary health certificates agreed upon with Colombia for beef and pork.
This decision paves the way for import permit applications to be processed by Philippine authorities for facilities and products that meet the established sanitary requirements. It formally opens the door for Colombian beef and pork to enter the Philippine market, subject to obtaining the necessary permits and complying with the conditions required by the country.
To ensure the success of this initiative, the Ministry of Agriculture—in coordination with the Colombian Agricultural Institute (ICA), industry associations, and producers—will continue to support the process, aiming to translate this market opening into concrete commercial operations and new export opportunities.
With this progress, Colombia demonstrates that it is opening markets and that the Colombian agricultural sector is ready to export.
