Resumen
HURTADO, Mónica y HERNANDEZ-SALAZAR, Giovanni Andrés. Local Profile and Palm Tree Agro-Industry: Exploring the case of San Albert o and San Martin (Cesar). Cuad. Desarro. Rural [online]. 2010, vol.7, n.65, pp.125-145. ISSN 0122-1450.
This article establishes the municipal profile of two places in Colombia which are traditionally known for their palm tree production: San Alberto and San Martin (Cesar). Socioeconomic indicators, public finance, and armed conflict dynamics during the last ten years in both places are studied in particular. It was found out that San Alberto, with greater palm tree activity than San Martin, has lower poverty levels and better public finance. Nevertheless, both municipalities show fragile standards in relation to education and health. As for safety and armed conflict, it was determined that the number of kidnappings and murders decreased in both places, but civilians are still victims of forced displacement.
