Abstract

This is a project of agricultural development for the Colombian coffee-growing zone, designed for diversification. The Colombian economy is highly dependent on coffee which represents 38% of exports and 20% of GDP. Five-year diversification plans are being implemented in order to decrease that dependence, increase the coffee growers’ income, create stable employment, increase food production and generate exports. The VI Five-Year Plan started in 1990, It is intended to generate agricultural and livestock production on 327.357 hectares. Its cost is estimated at US$642.3 million. Farm Management is an aid to the establishment and evaluation of the Plan. Its purpose is also to give training to technicians and growers in aspects of management, business administration and the profitability in agriculture.
