Local residents on a motorbike speed past a hillside planted with coca. Miranda - which is part of the Cauca Valley - is the most productive coca-growing region and nearly tripled its coca production from 12,000 to 32,000 hectares between 2014 and 2016. The government is pushing farmers, including many Nasa, to switch to other crops but the most fertile land is already taken by the sugarcane plantations on the plains.
