In 2017, the production value of Colombia’s food manufacturing performed better than in 2016, growing by 1.8% y/y. This positive result was driven by the growth of the oil and fat segment, which rose by 3.6% y/y, accounting for 21% of the food and beverage GVA in 2017. The beverage segment GVA, on the other hand, posted a significant drop of 4.5% y/y, after the 7.6% y/y increase observed in 2016. The intensified domestic demand for beverages in 2016 stemming from the extreme temperatures caused by the El Niño phenomenon stimulated the domestic output. Yet, in 2017 the beverage sales value followed the decreasing trend of the production and fell by 4.7% y/y.
