Angelica Camacho-González, trade specialist at ProColombia UK
Julia is joined by Angelica Camacho-González, trade specialist at ProColombia UK. Angelica helps Colombian food producers understand the UK market and make the most of export opportunities here.
Colombia is well known as an exporter of bananas and coffee, but there is so much more to the country and its food sector. Angelica talks about the growth in Colombian avocados and efforts to bring new exotic fruit and added-value food products to the UK market. Plus, she shares her perspective on how the country is responding to the threat of climate change and what its trading relations have been like with the UK post-Brexit.
