The nutritional and medicinal properties of the blueberry have meant that the last 10 years have generated a great demand and consumption of this fruit. The North American region, in addition to being an area where blueberries are produced in large volumes, it is also an area where blueberries are consumed in large quantities due to the trend of having a healthy diet by the population, therefore, that region represents an opportunity for Colombia to export berries because the country can produce them throughout the year and the fruit that is produced is optimal for the international market.
