L0-502-CO-ls On June 29, 1967, the WORLD BANK made a loan equivalent to $9 million to assist in financing a project for the development of agricultural production in the Department of Atlantica in northern Colombia. The project involves irrigation and flood control works for 24,500 acres and is the first stage of a program to irrigate a substantially larger area in the same vicinity. The irrigated a rea will be intens·ively cultivated, mainly wi t h high-value crops for export. The project will contribute toward the attainment of a primary goal of Colombian economic policy--diversification of agriculture to lessen the dependence on coffee and to increase export earnings.
The loan was made to Institute Colombiano de la Reforma Agraria (INCORA), which was established in 1961 to implement the agrarian reform law. It has since become a major Government agency for agricultural development and is active in developing land to increase agricultural production, as well as in land distribution. Since the At lantic~ project is technically complicated and requires a high degree of experience and s kill not now available in Colombia, INCORA will engage consultants for the planni~g, operation and management · of the project throughout the construction period and for at least five years threafter.
