COLOMBIA: Concern over growing coca crop
It is possible that 2016/2017 will be remembered as a period in which Colombia achieved two historic milestones, one desired, and the other definitely undesired. The positive achievement was to have signed and taken the first steps towards implementing a comprehensive peace settlement with the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (Farc). The negative one: achieving an all-time record coca harvest, likely to boost organised crime earnings, and in the worst-case scenario, capable of threatening the pacification of the country.
