Sep 20, 2018 - MEDELLÍN, Colombia — Colombia has more land producing the plant used to make cocaine than ever in its history, according to new figures ...
The country has fought for years against cocaine production, with the US providing around $400m annually to assist in Colombia's war on drugs.
Last year, Colombia also signed a $300m agreement with the UN aimed at reducing the production of cocaine by compensating farmers who agree to switch from growing coca to safer crops.
In August, newly elected President Ivan Duque told reporters the government would create a new drug-fighting policy, saying the goal was to have "concrete results" in the next four years.
