[[File:Cerrejón mine.JPG|thumb|[[Cerrejón]] is an [[open-pit coal mine]], the largest of its type, the largest in Latin America and the tenth biggest in the world.]]

In agriculture, Colombia is one of the five largest producers in the world of [[coffee]], [[avocado]] and [[palm oil]], and one of the 10 largest producers in the world of [[sugarcane]], [[banana]], [[pineapple]] and [[Cocoa bean|cocoa]]. The country also has considerable production of [[rice]], [[potato]] and [[cassava]]. Although it is not the largest coffee producer in the world (Brazil claims that title), the country has been able to carry out, for decades, a global marketing campaign to add value to the country's product. Colombian palm oil production is one of the most sustainable on the planet, compared to the largest existing producers. Colombia is also among the 20 largest producers in the world of [[beef]] and [[chicken meat]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.fao.org/faostat/en/#data/QCL/ |title=Agriculture and Livestock in Colombia, by FAO |access-date=14 July 2022 |archive-date=29 June 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200629173611/http://www.fao.org/faostat/en/#data/QCL/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://revistacafeicultura.com.br/?mat=35160 |title=Juan Valdez, garoto propaganda do Café da Colômbia chega aos 50 anos |access-date=14 July 2022 |archive-date=29 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231129012817/https://revistacafeicultura.com.br/?mat=35160 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://summitagro.estadao.com.br/noticias-do-campo/como-e-possivel-produzir-oleo-de-palma-de-maneira-sustentavel-2/ |title=Como é possível produzir óleo de palma de maneira sustentável |date=6 January 2020 |access-date=14 July 2022 |archive-date=15 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230715073551/https://summitagro.estadao.com.br/noticias-do-campo/como-e-possivel-produzir-oleo-de-palma-de-maneira-sustentavel-2/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Colombia is also the 2nd largest [[flower]] exporter in the world, after the Netherlands.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.negocioscomflores.com.br/noticias/como-funciona-a-industria-de-flores-na-colombia-maior-exportador-mundial/ |title=COMO FUNCIONA A INDUSTRIA DE FLORES NA COLOMBIA – MAIOR EXPORTADOR MUNDIAL |access-date=14 July 2022 |archive-date=15 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230715073552/https://www.negocioscomflores.com.br/noticias/como-funciona-a-industria-de-flores-na-colombia-maior-exportador-mundial/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Colombian agriculture emits 55% of Colombia's [[greenhouse gas]] emissions, mostly from deforestation, over-extensive cattle ranching, land grabbing, and illegal agriculture.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kliefoth |first=Willis |date=2021-10-06 |title=Towards a greener, fairer and more productive land use sector in Colombia |url=https://climatefocus.com/towards-greener-fairer-and-more-productive-land-use-sector-colombia/ |access-date=2024-04-18 |website=Climate Focus |language=en-US |archive-date=18 April 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240418115650/https://climatefocus.com/towards-greener-fairer-and-more-productive-land-use-sector-colombia/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
