| The following GAIN reports were released on February 20, 2025. _______ In 2024, U.S. agricultural exports to Colombia reached a record high of $4.5 billion, a 21 percent increase from 2023. This growth, supported by the U.S.-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement, represented the highest rate among the top 25 U.S. agricultural export markets globally. The top U.S. exports in 2024 to Colombia included corn, soybean meal, ethanol, pork, distillers grains, soybeans, dairy products, wheat, and soybean oil. The United States also remains the top importer of Colombian agricultural products. Colombian agricultural exports to the United States increased by 8 percent to $4.4 billion, driven by rising demand for coffee, cut flowers, and fresh fruits. Multiple aspects of Indonesian Quarantine Authority (IQA) regulation number 14/2024 could impact U.S. agricultural exports to Indonesia. IQA verbally clarified that the strict enforcement phase for "Prior Notice" notifications began on February 6, 2025, meaning that U.S. exporters must submit Prior Notice notifications before agricultural product shipments depart U.S. ports. In addition, beginning June 6, 2025, IQA verbally clarified this regulation requires that phytosanitary certificates be issued no more than 21 days after the phytosanitary inspection and that the shipment departs no more than 21 days after the phytosanitary certificate is issued. This report provides Post's understanding based on verbal and informal confirmation from IQA, which we are seeking in writing. The information and guidance provided is intended to help U.S. industry comply and is subject to change.
