The Government of Colombia has announced a new development in its strategy to internationalize the agricultural sector, following the approval by the Philippines of the veterinary health certificates agreed with Colombia for beef and pork.

This decision makes it possible to advance the processing of import permit applications before the Philippine authorities for establishments and products that meet the established health requirements. In this way, the way is formally opened for Colombian beef and pork to enter the Philippine market, subject to obtaining the corresponding 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), sector organizations, and producers, will continue to support the process so that this sanitary opening translates into concrete commercial operations and new export opportunities.

With this progress, Colombia continues to open new markets and demonstrates that its agricultural sector is ready to export.
