In Colombia, the area as big as Limburg is full of coca cultivation

The area in Colombia where coca plants are grown has never been so great.

Colombia remains the largest cocaine producer in the world, for Peru and Bolivia. The market value of this amount of drugs in Colombia is 2.3 billion euros. Cultivation is concentrated in the border areas with Venezuela and Ecuador, where former members of the dissolved FARC guerrillas are active in the drug trade. In 2017, Colombian security forces seized a total of 435 tons of cocaine.
