an extra florida is in columbia, taking us on to the front lines of the comfortable that's coming up after a short break. i'm going to be held. i'll have more news for you at the top of the out. don't forget this one use on that website at the w. com and on youtube and the social media channels, the handle you need is at the w need spots. and the those do not understand can have a think, like the volume just presented. dw used on instagram follow up, driven by greed in the 2000 store to bag, engaged in various time risk business practice. to reach somebody who's basically involved in every shady scandal in the banking sector worldwide.

raised for ever higher process. and then the mind of a german institution, the dodge of backstory stuff may seconds on t w. the the cutter to little for is does at the heart of the largest coca growing area in columbia. the country is producing more cocaine than ever before. and the drug is now columbia as most important export. but in recent times, a new trend has emerged. while coca production is booming, many farmers are having trouble finding buyers. the reason over production the

the franco, my name is with the front cover. and i work in agriculture, but i'm a service. well man, the income i earned from coca allows me and my family to get what we need to live. only be essential. so i can see him go. coca, why do i grow coca the rep? as simple as he got that to vote is known for being very large and remote in some way. you are far away from the main roads and highways. it's much easier to transport 10 kilos of co pays via which fits into a small bag if you will, then 20 or 30 loads of bananas which take up much more space and one moment which will go down to the,

the phone number. so there's just one step missing to turn this into coca pate, that it's not yet been fried. that means it's still in pure kind of dock. you throw it in to apply and heat it up and remove the water and all the impurities. when i, when i put in 2 years ago, and this was worth 2000000, 750000 pesos. y'all about $640.00 euro and now it's worth nothing because nobody buys it anymore. this is ricky riley, my whole man. know there are about 122130000 plants here and see until the 9th, i mean, we use them to make 30 or 40 kilos of coca pace today. that's why the incense about 75 to 80000000 pesos us around 17218000 euro. since i'm una, the best i order. but now i'm in danger of losing everything. i meant a bit of info because nobody is buying cook a paste right now. i can find the buy harvest in store at all,

but nobody buys it. i thought i was a bit of a 90 minute bumbling type of stuff, but again broke into i think this is the biggest crisis coke of farmers and cut it to him though. has ever face to come in and it doesn't just affect caught the tomb boat in north sonton dere, but other parts of the country as well because it's been dealt with. but i'm thinking that advice me number. my name is jo, 100 b. i mean, when you get there and i'm 17 years old, you know, thing or i've been working here for about 2 years. but can you afford that? i went to school in venezuela and i can be taken. but because of the economic crisis, i had to come here to work that, that i had back then i lived with my grandparents and you know, well i just in person and my grandmother was getting more and more sick. the main thing my grandfather had an injured arm, but as that's why my grandmother said, i should come work here. okay, beth, and then be applied to find you are not as far as to help them out. i sometimes send the money i may harvesting cool guy strictly illegal. i want to think that sometimes government soldiers come to

a coke of farm and destroy the cook. a plants turning point and if you're working there, you get arrested. they can even burn down the lab and destroy everything. no. they're going for you, john. john the 230. how much do you have you know? 31 kilogram. but i don't think it's we used to have lots of money and little co pay them. we now have lots of space, but no money left the money. people here work with coke up because it's cultivation accounts for 70

percent of economic output stuff and everything here revolves around coca. the problem right now is selling it, which has a huge impact on trade. everything is affected and competitive stuff like that. like anything else, the level and here's what coca does. it's still plan to kill us if you have some armed groups are fighting for more land so that they can expand coca cultivation by a company. it's the reason behind all the conflict into a couple of, if we were going cassava plantations and other things on these lands, nobody would be fighting over it. and then we, the entire population are the ones called in the middle. the number is the similar, my name is claudia patricia minus a rios. i'm working to help victims of sexual violence. maybe it is the, it's difficult to be

a woman in this area. and what are some of us have enjoyed horrible things that's of the i didn't this and you got in my case it was sexual violence because something and everything was kind of thing. we live in constant fear. and if, but as the up lives on, my personal experience is difficult because it said that you can't fathom how someone would think of using your body as a spoil of war wins. and i was where i fault with all my mind, but i couldn't come up into your ink when you haven't gotten to your head. it's very difficult as easy to set up both mrs. work is there and is it also because my daughter was there in your business and i thought, what else can i do there? gerald and i had no strength left in this for this. and then after i had fought for as long as i could for me,

they hit me in the face with one of the weapons they had with them go, i passed out and then regained consciousness. i was gone and came back nearly labour. labour, i remember it, well that all right, but these are memories i would like to erase the experience destroyed me emotionally, sexually personally and i mean, i wish we didn't have co kind of regions for they're getting rid of. okay. because if there was no coca, or we wouldn't have to live with all these dangers all the time,

and the confrontations give you a sense, we wouldn't live in fear unless something more comfortable. can you tell me when i need to tell you something reason the winter, i've checked our finances and the situation is talking right to the right number, you print the cleaners. hardly have any work the anthem and that effects wage payment to you. but i think i meant that on the one hand to there's no more work so we can no longer harvest coke on the farm. the years to see what it was the other day my. we have to talk about my debt to you. remember the wages i still owe you for the last few weeks then? yeah. so make when to when i've already done the math and i think i'll have to pay you with a few grams of coca paste. i don't know, but i'm with him because as you know, the past couple of people, there's no cash right now and see what the me see, know,

you must all or what i knew. let's see if there's no more work because things are so hard. i don't want co pay still don't ever see. i'd rather wait until you can sell co capacity. although you missed that i gave tape and then yeah, i guess i do. and when you have cash to pay me to let me know what, and i'll come back then to collect the money you'll, you'll angle ok. i've left you telling me when there's money or work. i type and i'll come back. i get all your window the if that and this is going to be my house is that this will be my little house. and i there are 2 rooms here. one on the right is the bathrooms will buy new. now the other room is the living room, dining room and kitchen. i like one way or a like will say network when night doesn't buy said one room i'll make

available to victims who need a place to stay thing and some of the sales. and what we can do here in this big dining room. so it's have conversations eloquently are active, but i'm about to tell them that we can talk about topics like empowerment them or so we can feel better use our kind of approach. is that just how it is a start? nice. it's a rebirth for me and my own here in process. i mean thank you. if i could only manage to finish building this house, got so say like when we get in there, not that many women in this area that is one way or another. i'll help them heal their wounds. is if i could do that for myself a bit by bit, then i can do that for them to the just the most with level 2, we've paid us the price not at 53,

like sometimes i wish the government was a bit more humane. mazda line would help us more, you know, finding that i'm, we often feel a band and, and alone. and sometimes we get tired of it, which it isn't, isn't the most of the lives is willing to do is we have no choice but to carry on. it right, i mean, i'm always with the hope that maybe one day last piece but but i must consider when we all up on the job because of this crisis of not being able to sell, co pays does drag down so long. it will now become impossible for us to make a living from coca conservation lot, but it's selling palm oil. could be a good business. the kids will color one. it requires only

a small investment that amino it's also easier to cultivate. palm is cut every 4 to 6 months and it's harvested by the science people. what i know, you don't need to be a slave to cultivation like you do with co got to come in and compete with them. one of the new danger i see as a farmer is that palm cultivation will lead to the development of a monoculture because they're going to have some, i fear it will spread too much and degrade the soil as a result. and these are the items that we thought it. a many farmers have switched from cocoa to palm oil production. but by winds, by arm to groups continues, the, the view will tell here. we are happy,

the boxing was the story. we have a getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use the dream force and for the future in the stories and issues that are being discussed across the country. news african next on d w. a port is in a surprise. every day, many risk their lives working in indonesia is illegal goals. but workers also face another terrible threats. mercury. it is used to extract cool, evaporates seats into the ground and devastating people's lives for ease and poverty. in 45 minutes on d, w. as he's got any issues or thoughts,
