Palm Oil in Colombia
Also available in English with the title: Oil Palm in Colombia
More than 80 years ago, the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) was introduced to Colombia with a view to achieving self-sufficiency for the country in oils and fats. Over time, the tangible benefits of this industry have made it one of the most important lines of the national economy. The splendid images and eloquent figures that this book gives us account of this successful evolution and its contributions to the development, employment and income of the regions where it is grown and processed, as well as its significance for national agriculture. While it constitutes an evident testimony about the advantages that oil palm brings to the country - already converted into a national heritage -, the work joins the celebrations of the 50 years of Fedepalma.
