Colombia Commits $4.25 Billion to Secure Land for Disadvantaged Farmers
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The current leftist government of Colombia is dedicated to spending $4.25 billion on purchasing approximately 1.5 million hectares (3.7 million acres) of land. This initiative aims to benefit poor farmers and those displaced from their homes.

President Gustavo Petro, leading this effort until 2026, aims to boost agricultural productivity and foster peace within the nation, with an emphasis on resolving the long-standing conflict that has claimed over 450,000 lives.

“We have a goal of 1.5 million hectares to benefit approximately 150,000 families, 10 hectares (24.7 acres) per family,” said Gerardo Vega, head of the National Land Agency, affirming the strategic plan’s objectives.

The purchase process, already underway with 100,000 hectares secured, is set to intensify, with a focus on ensuring rightful ownership and accelerating the redistribution process.

While the original target was 3 million hectares, the current plan seeks to acquire half that amount, strategically distributed across Colombia’s diverse terrain. The new landowners will receive support and guidance in cultivating various crops, including rice, corn, and fruits, with the government guaranteeing access to essential services.

The acquisition process is meticulous, aiming to confirm that the land is not subject to any disputed claims or previous forced evacuations by armed factions.

Furthermore, Colombia’s government is actively involved in the redistribution of land seized from criminal and rebel groups, facilitating the formalization of land ownership for generations of farmers who lacked formal deeds.

To date, about 1.3 million hectares have been formalized, and by the conclusion of President Petro’s term, the overall redistribution efforts are expected to cover approximately 7 million hectares.
