INTRODUCTION

The agriculture in Colombia contributes with 9% of the annual GDP, according to data from pro-export. Through the years, the production area has been diminished leaving the producer isolated from the policies generated by the government. The armed conflict has caused that the rural communities migrate to cities, decreasing the competitiveness in relation to international, agricultural production. In this article we are going to talk about its history how it is in the present and how we think it will be in the future

HISTORY

Regarding history, we can say that the agricola problem was originated in 1862. It started when the Colombian population began to grow and the government had to supply the big food demand. Laws were created to benefit some people, except the country people discriminating the people of the public benefit.

PRESENT 

 At this time or moment the country is in an agrarian conflict because farmers have protested against government policies that affect every day the agricultural sector, making national production less competent, all this due to the high cost of production that has resulted in losses to the agricultural part. It currently has 15 million hectares from which only 5 are being exploited without 10 to be of agricultural vocation.Making increasingly a less competitive sector with countries like United States, Argentina, Chile, etc, where their economies are based on the primary sector high dividends along with the support of public and private sector.

FUTURE 

In the future the Colombian agricultural sector will win customers with high quality products. It will generate a profit to the country people. This will offer organic products supplyIng the demand of other  countries.
