Colombia offers opportunities for agri-food companies looking to expand their sourcing. During this mission, you will meet local producers and suppliers who are ready for the European market. You will visit production sites, gain direct insight into quality, and build relationships.

With this Procurement Mission to Colombia:
- You will meet potential suppliers directly through one-on-one matchmaking. This will give you a quick overview of who fits into your supply chain.
- You will visit relevant production locations and companies. You will see with your own eyes how production works—and what that means for crop protection and social conditions, for example.
- You will build your local network, from producer associations to sector organizations and governments.
- You will gain realistic insight into your supply chain – from supply and risks to the working methods of potential partners.

The mission is therefore intended to meet suppliers and to better understand what sustainability means in practice within your supply chain.
