BioPlaza

Since 2005 BIOPLAZA has consolidated as an ecologic products distributor and a food processor with its own brand. In the long term it will establish organic markets all over the country.
Colombia’s agricultural exports consist mainly of coffee, meat, African palm oil and sugar. The government’s strategic plan searches to increase the sustainable production of all local and industrial eco-products.

In order to consolidate the national production of goods contributing to co-systems improvement, the Colombian government regulated organic production in 1995.
The National Biodiversity Policy was issued in 1997, and The National Plan of the Green Markets (PENMV) for the years 2002-2012 was proposed, with the vision to be the first Latin America producer and trader with 10% of the agricultural area devoted to organic production. 
Other programs which stand out are the Bio-commerce program and Bogotá’s Chamber of Commerce “Organics of Colombia” program.
