Abstract
The Colombian government is committed to work closely with oil palm growers to build a well-structured, world-class sector that gives Colombian farmers greater opportunities to improve their quality of life. That is why it is determined to provide them with special incentives and support as provided for in the "Agro Ingreso Seguro Act," as well as investments in science and technology and low interest rate loans, among others. At the same time, the biofuel sector is being promoted, and the oil palm is the raw material to produce biodiesel. Para el Gobierno colombiano es tarea importante trabajar en conjunto con los palmicultores, para construir un sector estructurado, de talla mundial, que les brinde a los productores agropecuarios colombianos mayores oportunidades para mejorar su calidad de vida. Por eso está empeñado en incentivarlo de manera especial, mediante apoyos y estímulos como los previstos en la Ley Agro Ingreso Seguro, inversión en ciencia y tecnología, y tasas de interés baratas, entre otras. Al mismo tiempo, se está impulsando el sector de los biocombustibles, como quiera que la palma de aceite sea la materia prima para producir biodiesel.
