Colombia granted an import quota of 79,000 ton of U.S. white rice. If we compare this figure with the annual consumption in the country, which is estimated at 1,794,000 tons, we see that this only corresponds to 4%. Furthermore, domestic producers may participate in the revenue arising from the administration of the quota, as they agreed to use an entity that is utilized by the U.S. with Europe (Export Trading Company). This auction scheme generates important resources which will be open to Colombian rice.
