Peach Palm (Chontaduro): a territorial fruit continuing to shape Colombia’s agrifood systems
In cities such as Cali and across Colombia’s Pacific Coast region, chontaduro needs no introduction. It is more than a food: it is identity, history, and a local economy. It is part of everyday life, culture, and daily diets. Over time, its presence has not only been sustained but has also strengthened and expanded, progressively positioning itself as a crop with potential beyond its traditional consumption.
