Colombia‘s merchandise exports reached US$4,233.5 million FOB in June 2026, according to the latest technical bulletin from the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE). The figure represents a 7.0% increase compared to June 2025, driven mainly by a 17.1% rise in sales of fuels and products from extractive industries.
Group performance in June 2026
Combustibles and extractive industry products accounted for 42.6% of the total export value in June 2026, reaching US$1,804.7 million FOB. Within this group, petroleum, petroleum derivatives, and related products grew 17.6%, contributing 12.3 percentage points to the group’s variation.
Manufactures totaled US$909.6 million FOB, up 2.4% year-on-year, supported by higher sales of chemical products (18.7%) and miscellaneous manufactured articles (8.6%), which together added 8.2 percentage points to the group’s change.
Agricultural, food, and beverage exports fell 10.8% to US$1,093.0 million FOB, mainly due to declines in cut flowers and foliage (-22.7%) and unroasted, decaffeinated or not, coffee (-12.7%), which together subtracted 9.2 percentage points from the group’s variation.
The other sectors group expanded 40.8% in June 2026, almost entirely explained by a 41.0% increase in non-monetary gold exports, which contributed 40.9 percentage points to the group’s growth.

Italy and India together contributed 7.4 percentage points to the total variation, while exports to China subtracted 1.6 percentage points, mainly because crude oil shipments to China fell 100.0%.
