PepsiCo announces $1 billion investment in Colombia

PepsiCo has announced a plan to invest $1 billion in Colombia over the next five years. The investment aims to expand production, modernize operations, and strengthen distribution networks across the country.

As part of this initiative, the company intends to build a modern manufacturing plant in Barranquilla. A second facility is also planned, though its specific location has yet to be determined. The expansion will support brands such as Margarita, Doritos, and Pepsi.

The project is expected to impact the local agricultural sector by supporting more than 2,000 farmers and providing opportunities for local retailers. Begoña Aristy, Vice President and General Manager for the Andean region, oversees the food division of the company from Bogotá.
