In this paper some of the most relevant historical facts are exposed in the process of entering the agribusiness monoculture oil palm in the municipality of Tumaco, Narino, which since its inception was related to violent acts of forced displacement, threats and persecution of peasants who refused to sell their land, who finally became laborers leaving their own food to buy, until the plague that wiped the palm and left in limbo. Why the premise that motivates this analysis is that it is not possible to think about the post-conflict within the framework of the ongoing peace negotiations between the guerrillas and the national government in Havana, while the land of peasants, Afro-descendants and indigenous people continue to be in pledge in the name of development.
