VALENCIA GONZALEZ, Catherine  and  PINZON MUNOZ, Carlos Andrés. Colombian Companies Boosting International Trade in the Pacific Alliance. Pensam. gest. [online]. 2021, n.50, pp.186-216.  Epub Mar 30, 2022. ISSN 1657-6276.  https://doi.org/10.14482/pege.50.658.155.

This article, through the systematization and analysis of Colombian exports and imports, identifies the Colombian companies that boost international trade in the Pacific Alliance. The results describe intra-alliance trade, detail Colombian imports and exports, by company, with Chile, Mexico, and Peru, and characterize Colombian companies with two-way trade flows. The text shows that there is a significant representation of imports of raw materials, supplies, and technology; that 80% of exporting companies are multinationals; that 50 % of exporting companies are concentrated in the hygiene and personal care products industry; and that 70% show deficit in their trade balances.

Keywords : international trade; international agreements; imports; exports; companies; Pacific Alliance; Colombia.
