A short survey of Colombian agricultural development in recent years

Expert InsightsPublished 1966

Among the many factors which have contributed to problems in Colombian agriculture, four major ones are land distribution and land tenure, price policy, credit availability, and transportation and marketing facilities. Only during the years between 1952 and 1954 did the Colombian economy even approach a relatively high rate of growth, and in only eight of these fourteen years did the agricultural gross domestic product exceed the population growth rate of 3 percent per annum. Unless Colombia can produce foodstuffs of adequate quantity and variety to meet the growth of demand, increasing amounts of foreign exchange may be directed toward buying food from abroad. 31 pp.
