This initiative aims to expand and strengthen commercial exchange in the region, contributing to the generation of new business opportunities between SMEs in the food sector and international buyers, through business meetings ("matchmaking").  Over the past 10 years, LAC Flavors generated more than $ 990 million USD in future transactions following more than 17,000 business meetings held during these events.

This edition of LAC Flavors is organized by the Inter-American Development Bank, through ConnectAmericas, in collaboration with ProColombia, the Colombian government's export promotion agency, Colombia Productiva, Agro Exporta, the Government of Valle del Cauca, the Municipality of Santiago de Cali, and the Cali Chamber of Commerce.
