As from 2001, annual censuses have been carried out, covering the entire Colombian territory; this report expounds the results of the coca census for 2011. The methodology used by the Project is based on the interpretation of satellite images of medium resolution and field verification. This verification is used for the editing of the interpretation in the office and for the calculation of the extension of coca cultivation. For the areas without information in the images due to cloudiness or other factors, the corrections are estimated based on trend criteria. The historical series was adjusted considering that coca crops in Colombia are smaller and smaller over time; the data in 2011 and 2010 include the adjustment of small fields that give continuity to the historical series. The results of the census show that on 31 December 2011 Colombia had 64,000 hectares cultivated with coca, distributed in 23 of the 32 departments of the country. This represents a stability relation (+3%) with respect to the 62,000 hectares detected in 2010. 14 out of the 23 departments affected show a tendency to reduction; however, the increase in 4 departments compensate for that trend.
