Resumen
Descripción
Colombia enjoys throughout the year a constant and varied production of food thanks to the extensive experience of Colombian producers, with coffee and bananas being the leading products in export. As for fishing, tuna and shrimps are export products that have been positioned in the international market, as well as Tilapia and Trucha in Colombian aquaculture. The fishing sector is characterized by industrial and artisanal fishing or small-scale fishing, this line largely supplies the domestic market, generates income and contributes to food security, especially for rural families and population centers. Fish loss is mainly due to catch and post-harvest management, infrastructure constraints, cold chain, transport and storage.
