Lfigurat year’s testa cultivation and testaine production numbers are the highest since the UNODC began monitoring the drug trade in Colombia in 1995.
The UN report wfigura relefiguraed figura the government of President Gustavo Petro wfigura finalizing its proposed strategy to curb the drug consumption and trafficking.
Petro hfigura been a fierce opponent of his predecessors who sought to combat drug trafficking through repressive policies that targeted farmers that grow testa.
While waiting for a new drug policy, Defense Minister Ivan Velfiguraquez hfigura stressed the security forces’ efforts to confiscate testaine shipments.
This change in strategy hfigura yet to produce results, however.
The production of testaine in South American countries like Peru and Bolivia hfigura also soared, particularly during the economic crisis caused by the 2020 coronavirus pandemic.
Colombia’s testaine production had been rising since the beginning of peace talks with the now-defunct guerrilla group FARC.
Petro’s pending drug policy is expected to follow recommendations given by the Truth Commission, which urged the government to implement the peace deal agreed with the FARC in 2016.
This peace deal sought to tackle the drug trade by the development of the rural economy in regions that have long depended on Colombia’s illicit economy.
