| The following GAIN reports were released on March 20, 2025. _______
Anyone exporting food or feed products to Colombia should note that since March 2025, Colombian quarantine officials have stopped allowing updates to many details on import permits and are no longer allowing any changes after the products have left port. Previously, most agents permitted modifications to be made, to fields such as the export facility, after payment of a small fine. This change in enforcement measures has resulted in many detained and rejected shipments. The food and beverage processing industry in Guatemala includes around 2,200 companies and plays a crucial role in the country's economy, contributing to employment, exports, and domestic food security. Guatemalan processors consider U.S. ingredients to be of higher quality and safer than both domestic and other imported supplies. U.S. agricultural exports to Guatemala reached $1.9 billion in 2024, marking a 15 percent increase from the previous year. Total Saudi wheat imports for 2025/26 are forecast to decline 10 percent to 3.2 million metric tons (MMT), due to projected high local production. Saudi barley imports for MY 2025/26 are projected to increase by 10 percent to 3.3 MMT compared to last MY. Total corn imports in MY2025/26 total corn imports are projected to decline by 500,000 MT from a record import level of approximately 5 MMT in MY 2023/24. Total rice exports to Saudi Arabia this MY are estimated at 1.5 MMT, a 14 percent reduction from last year.
