Abstract
The Federation celebrates 60 years of history. In oil palm terms, we could say that a period of renewal is upon us, marked by the fulfillment of a productive cycle, and especially by the development of the Colombian palm industry, which today faces several factors that reveal anew stage. On the one hand, the sector has become the country’s second crop in planted area, with a production value exceeding 7.7 trillion pesos in 2021. It is also the first product in non-traditional exports in the region (fourth in agricultural exports) with a value that exceeds 500million dollars. Palm growing has spread to several regions, reaching more than 160 municipalities where, in many cases, it has become the main formal economic activity and a driver of progress for rural areas of our country. La Federación cumple 60 años de historia. En términos palmeros podríamos decir que inicia un periodo de renovación, marcado no solo por el cumplimiento de un ciclo productivo sino especialmente por el desarrollo de la palmicultura colombiana que nos tiene hoy ante diversos factores que dejan ver también una nueva etapa.
Por una parte, el sector se ha consolidado como el segundo cultivo en área sembrada en el país, cuyo valor de la producción superó los 7,7 billones de pesos en 2021, y es el primer renglón en exportaciones no tradicionales (cuarto lugar en exportaciones agropecuarias) conun valor que supera los 500 millones de dólares. La palmicultura se ha extendido a varias regiones, llegando a más de 160 municipios, donde, en muchos casos, se ha constituido como la principal actividad económica formal y se ha convertido en un motor de progreso para las áreas rurales de nuestro país.
