It is also utilized as a relevant raw material for handicrafts made by natives in areas of Colombia where the violence of the armed conflict has raged for decades and where illicit crops continue to flourish.
The wide use of Iraca Palm helps create jobs in the manufacturing industry, which indirectly links more than a million people to craft trades.
