  "summary": "Colombia has opened its market to U.S. beef tallow exports, with the first shipment destined for biofuel production. The product, a byproduct of the meat industry, will be used as raw material for renewable diesel and other lower-carbon fuels. The export was made possible after Minerva Ingredients, a subsidiary of Minerva Foods, met the necessary sanitary, quality, and traceability requirements. With the United States being a leading biofuel producer, this access represents an opportunity for Colombian suppliers to expand participation in international supply chains linked to the energy transition.",
