What effect do crop prices have on the crops grown by farmers in colombia

History
1 answer:
Gemiola [76]3 years ago
3 0

The most important factors are crop prices and coca eradication levels.The higher the return from alternative crops, the more likely the area under coca cultivation and coca supply will decrease.Moreover,the eradication also induces farmers to switch from coca to alternative crops.Farmers interested in getting out of the drug trade are also now exposed to criminal groups jockeying for influence.The government has tried to provide alternatives to farmers, but those efforts have come up short.In Colombia, extensive coca cultivation is a recent phenomenon. Coca cultivation rose as an export crop during the crisis in the mid and late 1970s. You probably usually make more with almost any other crop, but it's always a different crop. Sometimes it's coca. Sometimes ... something else might be getting a better price than coca, but coca never goes down," Isacson told Business Insider. "It's just this always above-average price. It's like an insurance policy for them."

The government has tried alternate-crop development and what have you, but it's never worked, because growing breadfruit, bananas, and other crops does not come close to fetching the prices that coca does," said Mike Vigil, former chief of international operations for the US Drug Enforcement Administration.

The value of coca increases dramatically as it is refined and moves toward consumer markets.

Who issued the country's early currency and what was the principle problem that occurred?
Maru [420]

Benjamin Franklin....

Early American currency went through several stages of development during the colonial and post-Revolutionary history of the United States. Because few coins were minted in the thirteen colonies that became the United States, foreign coins like the Spanish dollar were widely circulated. Colonial governments sometimes issued paper money to facilitate economic activities. The British Parliament passed Currency Acts in 1751, 1764, and 1773 that regulated colonial paper money.

During the American Revolution, the colonies became independent states. Freed from British monetary regulations, they issued paper money to pay for military expenses. The Continental Congress also issued paper money during the Revolution, known as Continental currency, to fund the war effort. Both state and Continental currency depreciated rapidly, becoming practically worthless by the end of the war. This depreciation was caused by the government printing large amounts of currency in order to meet the demands of war.

schepotkina [342]

Arabians tribes culture was part of the clans placed authority on kin-related groups (based on blood and kinship). Their society based on patriarchal, where inheritance acquired through the male.
