NEW OFFICE IN COSTA RICA Growbank as a Colombian company focused on the agricultural and agro-industrial sector has always had in mind its purpose of growth,
We started 2021 dragging the ravages of a global pandemic and with a new vision of what is really important and therefore how business should be conducted. In one year, we evolved what we had aimed to in five years. In this new international order, there are sectors that are of vital importance for the sustainability of humanity, in our case, agriculture.
During the third quarter of 2020, the Colombian agricultural sector was one of the few that registered growth in GDP, increasing 1.5% compared to the same period of the previous year, according to DANE figures. Remarkable figures in the worst year in the country’s history.
This growth was driven by the positive dynamics of the agricultural production, which includes support and related activities. Likewise, between January and September 2020, the country’s agri-food chain was the only one to record positive dynamics in its exports, up 3.6% compared to the same period in 2019. For the coming years, an annual growth of around 8.5% in the demand for packaged food is projected, a figure that would be above the world average and would turn the region into a market of interest that can be served from Colombia. This, together with the establishment of clear policies that establish fair rules of the game. The agricultural and agro-industrial sectors are sources of competitive advantages for our country.
For all these reasons, it is time to look with interest and commitment to the development of the Colombian countryside, with inclusive financial policies and adequate financial education programs. It is precisely in this sector where important avenues of growth can be found for an economy that must overcome its productive backwardness.
“Colombia is increasingly positioning itself internationally with its products and services. The case of agriculture is very striking because this year we have managed to conquer distant markets with our offer that stands out for its quality, flavor and price. Projections for next year are very positive and invite us to continue betting on this industry, which is key to the country’s economic reactivation,” said Flavia Santoro, president of ProColombia.
