A joint market assessment across Colombia in August 2026 reveals that rising prices and security concerns are reshaping how consumers access food and how merchants operate. The findings paint a picture of a market system under strain, where affordability and safety are the two most pressing challenges.
Security Barriers Limit Market Access
The assessment found that 10% of merchants reported social barriers, such as insecurity or discrimination, that limit consumer access to markets. Meanwhile, 23% of consumers identified similar obstacles, with theft episodes cited by 65% and fear of traveling on access routes by 31%.
These findings highlight a growing disconnect between market availability and consumer ability to reach it. The data underscores how safety dynamics are becoming a structural constraint on market participation across the country.
Price Increases Erode Purchasing Power
A sharp rise in prices has significantly affected consumer purchasing power. 76% of consumers reported perceiving a price increase in the last month, and 66% of those said it affected their ability to buy. In response, 64% reduced the quantity of food purchased and 36% cut the number of meals per day.
The direct impact on household budgets is clear: as prices climb, consumers are forced to make difficult trade-offs between food quantity and meal frequency. This trend signals a deepening affordability crisis that could worsen without intervention.
Supply Capacity Remains Strong but Concentrated
Despite the challenges, 94% of merchants indicated that the market had the capacity to meet current demand, while 86% believed it could respond to a doubling of demand. However, supply chains remain heavily dependent on departmental capitals, with 75% of suppliers operating from these cities and only 33% of shops sourcing within their own municipality.
This concentration creates vulnerability. If disruptions occur in capital cities, a large share of local markets could be affected. Strengthening local supply chains may be essential to building resilience against future shocks.
