Bogota,
Colombia
Join Governor Rick Scott
and Enterprise Florida on the Team Florida Trade Mission to Colombia!
Colombia is the fifth-largest economy in Latin America with a population
of approximately 45 million inhabitants. Over the last decade,
improvements in security and political stability have fostered economic
growth and a secure business climate. With 4% GDP growth in 2010 and an
estimated 4.6 % growth in 2011, the Colombian market presents unbounded
opportunities for Florida companies.
The October 2011 approval of the Free Trade Agreement with
Colombia is expected to be a valuable tool for the significant promotion
of trade between the two nations. Over 90 percent of U.S. Exports to
Colombia will enter the country duty free or will see their tariffs phase
out every year for the following ten years.
Colombia is the United
States' fourth largest trading partner and is Florida’s second largest
trading partner with over $9 billion in two-way trade in 2011. Colombia
is among the top five destinations for Florida-origin products, amounting
to nearly $3 billion in trade. The constant growth of the Colombian
economy is expected to generate new export opportunities for Florida
firms wanting to benefit from a strong open business climate and
Florida’s traditionally close cultural and economic ties with Latin
America.
REMINDER:
The deadline to apply for the Gold Key Package is September 30,
