A woman resident of Pueblo Nuevo, Briceño municipality, Antioquia department, Colombia, shows coca leaves as the government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia leftist guerrillas inaugurate a voluntary pilot plan to eradicate coca plantations on July 10, 2016.
Cocaine trafficking has fueled the country's deadly civil war over the past five decades. The biggest rebel force, the FARC, and the government signed a definitive ceasefire and disarmament agreement on June 23, 2016 which gives hope that efforts to replace and eradicate illegal crops can now thrive. Colombia is ranked the largest cocaine producer in the world and its production surged by nearly half its previous amount last year, United Nations experts said on July 8.
