Una Mirada a la Condición de Colombia Como País Importador de Trigo, Posibles Escenarios.

Abstract

The issue of the historical decrease in wheat production in Colombia and the consequent and unavoidable dependence on imports of this essential resource in the Colombian context are topics that this reflective article aims to critically discuss within the framework of International Relations. The research looks towards solutions, with the aspiration to address the wheat trade situation in Colombia by delving into the intricate web of wheat trade in Colombia and its interaction with neighboring Latin American nations. The proposed strategies encompass the development of a resurging domestic industry focused on the production of wheat and other cereal-based flours, as well as the consolidation of regional trade relationships with Argentina, a country that has historically maintained an unquestionably significant trade relationship in the context of wheat. Simultaneously, there is a glimpse of the possibility, in the medium and long term, to diminish dependence on imports and embark on the path towards self-sufficiency in wheat production.
