Dinámica del mercado internacional para la naranja colombiana.

This paper analyzes the behavior of national and international markets for Colombian orange, in key areas such as production, prices, imports and exports during 2010-2015. Multiple databases and data collection of applicable reports of the citrus chain were used; obtained from primary and secondary sources (government agencies at national and international level); then foreign trade reports were generated by the tariff position 08.05.10.00.00 established in Decree 4589 (2006) from Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism of Colombia. World production stood at 47.90 million tons by 2015, with a reference price of 0.80 USD/Kg internationally, in this regard Colombia is considered a marginal player in world production whose national price reaches 0.35 USD/kg and where exports are evolving positively towards Ecuador and some Caribbean islands; however phytosanitary barriers will hinder foreign trade. The Country presents advances in the production and marketing of this fruit, however there is work to be done to be a player who begins to appear on the international stage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
