Coffee, rice, tobacco, sugarcane, cocoa beans, corn, and bananas are some of the primary agricultural products of Colombia. Many natives raise their own food.
Coca Plants
Natives in Colombia also harvest the leaves of the coca plant, which they have used medicinally for hundreds of years. Unfortunately, the chemical cocaine, a powerful narcotic, can be concentrated from these leaves, and illegally sold for drug abuse. As with opium poppies in Asia, the value of the crop is a strong incentive to grow and sell coca leaves, in spite of the efforts of the government to discourage it.

When is South Americas growing season?
Since the equator passes through northern South America (through Peru, Ecuador, and Brazil) it should not be surprising that most of South America - all of northern South America - lies in the tropics and has warm enough weather for the growing season to last all year long. As you get further south in Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chile, you get into the temperate zone where the growing season is generally interrupted by a colder winter (not year round).
