    Yellow corn, a staple in the Colombian diet, is used in the production of concentrated animal feed, especially in the poultry and swine industries, and, to a lesser extent, in products for human consumption. This reality creates a significant dependence on corn imports, which account for approximately 86% of total national demand, and exposes the country to marked vulnerability to the volatility of international prices, which increased by 31% between 2019 and 2023. Furthermore, such environment presents considerable risks to the business models of the agricultural sector, prompting the need for studies that propose measures to manage and mitigate these risks. This research analyzes and proposes risk management strategies to help mitigate the effects of international corn price volatility on the Colombian poultry sector, based on the guiding question: What risk management strategies are most applicable and efficient for a poultry company in Colombia in the face of international corn price volatility? Its objective is to identify tools and strategies applicable to poultry companies to assess their financial impact and facilitate decision-making, contributing to their sustainability in the current context of international corn prices.
