We can see from above that Panama was the country shipping the highest quantity of goods to Colombia. However, Panama is a transhipping country and denim is not produced there. So all of this denim would have come from other countries through Panama. 

Pakistan is , of course , a big supplier and shipped over 5,00,000 sq mtrs of fabrics to Colombia. Mexico , US and India are the next big suppliers. together supplying over 1.8 million sq mtrs in April’14
