The First Forum Producers classified illicit crops (coca, poppy, cannabis) aims to enable farmers affected by the current policies:

Exchange and communicate on political and socio-economic issues pushing their communities to these forms of agriculture and widely inform world public opinion.

Questioning on the future of the people concerned: equitable and sustainable development of economies and rural areas, land reforms, alternative development, development of legitimate uses (cultural, medicinal and food) of these crops.


Develop proposals for different policies intended to be presented to official bodies concerned.

Structuring the communities concerned in associations and networks as interlocutors to authorities and national, regional and international organizations to make them actors of their own development.
