Farmers in Colombia, particularly in the departments of Quindío and Risaralda, are facing significant challenges as they struggle with severe shortages of concentrates for their livestock, including cows, pigs, and chickens. This critical shortage is causing concerns about decreased production, poor body condition, and potential deaths of the animals, with cattle ranchers having to rely on alternative feeds like bananas and wheat bran.
