Local context: Free Trade Agreement and colombian agriculture

• Agricultural inputs: Colombian farmers pay the most expensive fertilizer in the world. One liter in Colombia costs US$10,42 and in other countries it costs only US$ 3,13.
•  In Colombia FTA only benefits large producers who have the capacity to compete with the high productivity of other countries or those productive sectors who trade products from tropical region, they are the minority.
• Most farmers have large debts to banks and some of them have lost their ground. 
• Colombia is a producer of gasoline but the price of this inside the country is one of the highest in the world. For this reason in some occasions the transport prices of food within cities is more expensive than the same production. For example, there are some farmers who are paid US$6,25 for a sack of potatoes and the transport costs US$5,21  but the problem is that the production of this costs US$6,25.
