Abstract

The peace agreement between the national government and FARC will bring great challenges in terms of transport infrastructure. The inhabitants of regions that have been forgotten by the state, will be able to take their products to municipal markets, access to products imported from other places (reducing self-consumption), and move without the restrictions usually suffer from the absence of roads in good conditions. This article discusses the benefits that will bring investment in road infrastructure for Colombian rural households.

Keywords: Transportation infrastructure, post-agreement, market, colombian rural areas
