Nearshoring in procurement is the strategy of relocating the supply chain to geographically closer countries to reduce logistics costs, improve delivery times and mitigate geopolitical risks. In Latin America, countries like Mexico, Colombia and Chile have become strategic hubs for companies looking to diversify their suppliers away from Asia.
The main benefits include: reduced logistics costs and delivery times, compatible time zones for real-time collaboration, favorable trade agreements (such as USMCA in Mexico), competitive technical talent, and more agile compliance with regional regulations and ESG standards.
Nearshore supplier evaluation should consider: production capacity and scalability, quality certifications (ISO, GMP), local regulatory and tax compliance, logistics infrastructure, financial stability, verifiable business references, and alignment with corporate ESG policies. A structured due diligence checklist is recommended.
