Colombia

Languages spoken in Colombia: Spanish.

Colombia is a republic in the northern part of South America. It borders both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, and on the mainland, Panama to the northwest, Venezuela to the east, Brazil to the southeast, Peru to the south, and Ecuador to the southwest. The country's name is derived from Christopher Columbus. Bogotá is the economic and cultural centre of Colombia and the country's capital.

Colombia is one of the largest economies in Latin America and the largest producer of cut flowers. It ranks first in the world for carnation production and second for cut flowers overall. With 3500 different species of orchids, Colombia has the greatest diversity in the world. Colombia also ranks first in the production of emeralds and guadua wood. It is also the world's fourth largest producer of coffee and ranks fifth in the world in banana production, with more than 1.5 million tons. Colombia leads Latin America in the production of potatoes.

A large part of the Colombian economy is directly or indirectly influenced by the cultivation and production of illegal drugs. The aid organisation Bread for the World reported in 2009 that Colombia accounts for around 70% of global cocaine production. For example, farmers grow coca in particular, but also opium poppies, because they expect to earn a better income this way than from producing food or coffee; and the pressure of the drug cartels often does not allow coca farmers to switch to legal goods either.

Colombia's economy has been growing steadily since the 1990s, making it the largest growth market in South America after Chile. In the past 20 years, the consumer goods and basic industries have been increasingly expanded. Today, the food and textile industries play the biggest role.

Colombia is generally considered to have great economic potential. This is due, among other things, to the advanced industrialization and the large amount of raw materials.
