Colombia’s exports rose 11.7% year-on-year to $4.6 billion in April 2026, following a 20.9% increase in March. The expansion was mainly driven by a 46.2% rise in exports of fuels and extractive industry products, supported by a 72.3% surge in shipments of petroleum and petroleum-related products. Exports from the other sectors category jumped 78.3%, entirely due to higher sales of non-monetary gold. In contrast, manufactured exports fell 8.3%, weighed down by lower shipments of machinery and transport equipment (-24.8%) and manufactured goods classified chiefly by material (-10.4%). Agricultural products, food, and beverages exports declined 27%, largely reflecting weaker sales of unroasted coffee (-49.9%) and cut flowers and foliage (-20%). In the first four months of 2026, Colombian exports totaled $18.4 billion, up 14.5% from the same period a year earlier. source: Dane, Colombia
