Colombia’s FARC rebels are now training as coffee growers

Wednesday, September 13, 2017


Following several interviews, 30 former FARC guerrillas, including two women, have been selected to undertake a three-month coffee growing training programme at Tecnicafé coffee technology park.

This is the first such scheme to kickstart former guerrillas’ reintegration into civilian life in the Cauca region of Colombia.
