To better cater the needs of the country’s economy, the quality and variety of veterinary pharmaceutical products in Colombia have been increasing in recent years.

Given Colombia's high biodiversity and fauna, and a large agricultural sector, access to veterinary supplies and products is crucial.

Therefore, the implementation of high-quality veterinary products is paramount for the consolidation and growth of this important sector.

Colombia possesses vast knowledge and experience allowing the country to be at the forefront of the veterinary industry in a global context. Given its competitiveness in terms of costs and quality, pharmaceutical manufacturing and veterinary supply production in Colombia are a great alternative to meet the agricultural global demand.

There are currently more than 200 veterinary pharmaceutical manufacturing national and multinational companies in Colombia that produce around $296 billion Colombian pesos annually.

Most veterinary companies and products are ICA (Institute of Colombia Agriculture) certified and BPM (Good Manufacturing Practices) certified, ensuring good standards and top-quality products.
