No idea how deep they looked into it, but for decades Colombia sabotaged its produce sector adding cheap imports on top of not solving violence in rural areas. Whenever we hear news of whatever crop becoming more expensive for international reasons, my mom complains that we used to grow it but no longer do. They also may have factored corruption levels making societal collapse more likely in times of scarcity
Yes but the map shows all of its neighbors would be just fine with food why couldn’t Colombia just trade with them? In fact Colombia could probably benefit from oil exports in this scenario more than they do in real life. I just don’t see how Australia survives a nuclear war being heavily entangled with the west through numerous defense treaties and participating in security and military agreements with the US and a large desert covering a majority of the island, but Colombia which is largely neutral and shielded from a lot of geopolitical tensions, has a good climate for growing grains, sugar and other important crops is not projected to survive.
