Economic relationship Colombia and Turkey

Colombia's exports to Turkey before 2002 were fluctuating and were determined by coal

and sugar. Subsequently, exports showed a better performance driven by the trade in thermal

coals, rocks of a type of mineral coal that contains between 45 and 85 percent carbon. Thus,

trade with Turkey represented one percent of Colombia's total exports to the world in 2009.

For 2009, Colombia's merchandise trade to the Turkish country increased by 79 percent

compared to 2008, thanks to the 81 percent increase in exports of coal, coke and briquettes.

n the contrary, imports have presented a variable behavior. For 2009 there was a 20

percent drop in relation to 2008, explained by the reduction in the purchase of manufactured

items.

part is located in Southwest Asia and another part of the country in Southeast Europe; although
