1. Summary of the most relevant information on the commercial movement

Veritrade allows you to search for exports or imports, and the markets of origin or destination, with a coverage that covers the main Latin American economies, the United States, China, India, and all the countries of the European Union.

With just one click on the Destination Countries tab, Veritrade will instantly generate a report on the countries that import Colombian coffee, and other details such as their share of the total, the weight of the merchandise shipped, and the average price paid per kilogram. Additionally, a circular chart with the details of the distribution according to participation will be shown, which can also be customized according to appearance and colors.

It is time to create an additional spreadsheet to do and undo, select, group, add, subtract or ponder according to what the analyst is looking for.
