Colombian armed forces shut down 20 FARC cocaine labs in operations across the country in the month of July, El Espectador reported Wednesday.
The government said that it has disrupted cocaine operations in the departments of Nariño, Meta, and Guaviare, located in the southwestern, central, and southern parts of the country respectively.
Authorities said that a total of 375 pounds of coca leaf had been seized, as well as 880 pounds of chopped leaf, 9,700 pounds of macerated leaf, 485 pounds of coca juice, and 2,000 pounds of coca base.
Colombia’s Armed Forces also destroyed a significant amount of FARC infrastructure, including labs, kitchens and underground tunnels. The infrastructure was valued at a little over $1 million.
