 The Coffees of Colombia
Colombia is a diverse group of coffee origins, with Northern and Southern regions staggered in the crop cycle.
A note on Colombian selections: Coffee from Colombia comes in all grades to suit different markets: there are lower grades for commercial and food service applications, generic medium grades, Specialty grades, and at highest end of the spectrum there are specific appellations with designated varietal and farm or micro-region.
This is actually a totally organic coffee, which, considering the ultra-celan and delicate cup character, is remarable to me. Colombia has a large problem with the Broca, a insect that bores into the coffee cherry and seed: these stricken seeds produce off notes in the cup.

Colombia's government has temporarily banned the sale of fish produced in Betania's hatcheries to protect consumers from possibly contaminated fillets.
Colombia also has asked the Spanish power company Endesa SA to gradually restore the reservoir's water levels by scaling back production of electricity at the dam.

 IMPUNITY: Cases - Nelson Carvajal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
A reporter with the newspaper Diario del Huila told the IAPA that according to a reliable source of his those documents contained evidence incriminating a local public figure presumably linked to arms and drug trafficking between the Pitalito area in Huila, Putamayo and Ecuador in complicity with certain members of the military.
On April 8, 2001 the Neiva District High Court upheld the lower court’s decision to acquit “with the clarification that the grounds for acquittal are the full demonstration of the innocence of the accused.” This higher court ruling ruled out an appeal as sought by the Attorney General’s Office on February 5, 2001.
On December 22, 2000 Bermúdez told the Diario del Huila that he had been accused in the death of Carvajal because of political persecution by his opponent Fernando Manrique Alvarez (a friend of Carvajal’s), who would leave politics for good.

 SOBRE LA MASACRE DE RIVERA ( HUILA ) Y LA PARTICIPACIÓN DE LAS FARC
Since I was very much involved in preparing the statement which CSN put out concerning the massacre of 9 members of the municipal council in the town of Rivera in Huila Department in Colombia, I think it appropriate for me to respond to points raised by viewers and reviewers of the CSN statement.
Our delegation had been told that the FARC unit Teofilo Forero was known to be located nearby Rivera prior to the massacre, indicating that the FARC had armed elements nearby for whom entry to Rivera on the day of the massacre was feasible.
There are, after all, more than 3.5 million internally displaced people in Colombia, as well as thousands of peasants, indigenous and Afro-Colombians killed due principally to the violence carried out by paramilitaries with Colombian Army support, actions which we have continually criticized in the most severe terms.
