FOREIGN COUNTRIES ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
As part of one continent, Colombia has special interactions between different countries, by receiving their products or by giving them, by the known interaction of imports and exports, and also sharing some policies that can benefit or create some problems for the internal conditions of it.

To take a look to the relation with other countries that Colombia has we will see the next graphs:
In first place we have the principal elements that are exported by Colombia; all of them have a direct effect in the economy creating a big income for the entire dynamic of this national sector to work. In this way we will see closer to the industry that is for our concern that is the food market, but specifically referred to the processed fruit.
The next graphic refers to the countries where Colombia exports and the percentage for each country.
So from this countries we can see the direct relation with this countries. But we will also see the general relations with some other countries that have an indirect relation with the processed fruit.
