Argentina is basically broke, and Venezuela is near collapse. Each is starved of hard currency (i.e. USD mainly) and so cannot effect much cross-border trade. Venezuela exports oil but Colombia has its own to a large extent, and Argentina really only exports agricultural products - but it must first feed its own population since it has little currency to spend abroad. On the other hand, Colombia is doing quite well economically - especially in relative terms.
Colombia still has big inequality and social problems. Not as bad as Venezuela, but nothing to feel proud for (for the record I am colombian). Hoping to find the road to improve our situation.
Netherlands often shows up on the biggest import column and high up the list, too. In spite of their small population. Are the Dutch such ravenous consumers or is it just that the goods are being funneled through Rotterdam and then redistributed to the rest of Europe?
Both. Rotterdam is (still) by far the biggest port in Europe and Germany as a neighbour doesn't hurt. Amsterdam Airport is also one of the larger airports (both passenger as well as cargo). In addition the population is not that small and the country produces a surprisingly high number of goods (and services). For example agriculture production is extremely efficient and much higher than you'd expect based on the country's size.

If you read the comments above this, then you would know that this has already been stated. Also, just do a little research before saying something that might be worthless.
Lol. I got to Level 80 last night but didn't do anything else on JetPunk after that and then this morning I got the notifications told me that my points for this quiz had reset. So I just replayed this quiz and when I finished it told me "Congratulations you just to Level 80." That's probably not funny to anyone else but me but still...
Yes I am aware that I am replying to a comment that is 5 years old.
