Tolima municipio described as a top-three national coffee producer, shaped by Colombia's conflict and peace process.
Planadas is a municipio of Tolima, Colombia, that Wikipedia describes as Colombia's third most important coffee producer. Cattle and beans add diversity. It was a focal area of the armed conflict and hosted post-2016 reincorporation efforts. The Café de Tolima specification puts Planadas in the group that picks its main crop in March-June, with a mitaca in October-November.
