Bogotá: Farmers in parts of Colombia say sales of coca, the raw ingredient used to make cocaine, collapsed after a recent surge in production of the illicit drug. “We’ve seen a complete collapse of buyers,” said Andres Rojas, a coca farmer in the Catatumbo region who advocates for sustainable farming practices among growers. “Entire crops are going unsold, and families are going hungry,” he added.
