Colombian farmers were among the most impacted groups by the internal conflict caused by the war on drugs that left 260.000 victims in the country. They saw an opportunity to join a US$ 1.3B industry and be part of economic growth when the Colombian government regulated cannabis production in 2016. By 2022 only 4% of total licenses have been granted to them.
