Mango producers in Cienaga and Zona Bananera, two municipalities in the department of Magdalena, are alarmed because their crops are rotting. There is an overproduction of fruit that nobody will buy and that is literally lying on the farm roads, where flies and other pests abound.
The problem, according to farmers, is that the government generated incentives to plant, but didn't give them any alternatives to commercialize the fruit for processing, so that they wouldn't lose out.
