BAENA-ROJAS, José Jaime. The foreign trade policy and Colombian exports. Rev.econ.inst. [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.41, pp.51-70.  Epub Aug 06, 2019. ISSN 0124-5996.  https://doi.org/10.18601/01245996.v21n41.03.

This article develops an analysis of foreign trade in Colombia since its economic opening and entry into the WTO in 1995 until 2016. In addition, the main products exported in this country are identified besides their influence in international trade. Then, a review of local databases such as Dian, Dane among other international ones such as the WTO and ITC is carried out. It is concluded that Colombia's foreign trade depends on mining since the country exports mainly hydrocarbons and coal; Also, although the country exports agricultural goods such as flowers, coffee and bananas that play a leading role in international trade, these are not yet decisive for the total exports of the country.

Keywords : Foreign trade; exports, trade balance; Colombia; JEL: D10, F10.
