Abstract: This study contains general background material on Colombia's physical resources--topography, climate, soils, forests, and minerals. It analyzes the factors influencing demand for agricultural products; reviews general policies and goals toward agricultural production and trade; and examines production practices and transportation and marketing facilities. The report gives location, area, and production of all leading crops grown in the country; production of vegetable oils; and location of livestock and agricultural production centers. The study also traces Colombian economic development during the past two decades. Statistical data relate to economic growth, land use, agricultural trade, and production of all principal crops and livestock products.
