Export of Goods Value from Colombia (1990-2023)

Colombia's export value demonstrated steady growth from 1990 to 2008, with a notable increase from $6.7 billion in 1990 to $37.6 billion in 2008. This period of growth was influenced by rising oil prices and expanding coffee and coal exports, key drivers of Colombia’s export economy. The global financial crisis in 2009 caused a sharp dip to $32.8 billion, but the recovery was swift, reaching a peak of $60.1 billion by 2012.

Post-2014, Colombia experienced a decline due to falling oil prices, with export values plummeting to $31.7 billion in 2016. Despite challenges, exports rebounded to $57 billion by 2022, reflecting recovery in commodity prices and diversification efforts. However, 2023's slight decline to $49.5 billion underscores ongoing challenges in global demand and trade.
