Ngokwedatha evela kwiSebe leMigodi yeSizwe yaseColombia, ngo-2020, imveliso yamalahle yaseColombia yehle ngama-40% unyaka nonyaka, ukusuka kwi-82.4 yezigidi zeetoni ngo-2019 ukuya kwi-49.5 yezigidi zeetoni, ikakhulu ngenxa yobhubhane omtsha we-crown pneumonia kunye noqhankqalazo lweenyanga ezintathu.
IColombia lilizwe lesihlanu ngobukhulu emhlabeni elithumela amalahle kwamanye amazwe. Ngowama-2020, ngenxa yokuvalwa kweenyanga ezintlanu kwesi sifo kunye noqhankqalazo olude kwimbali yenkampani yimanyano yabasebenzi yenkampani yaseColombia iSerejón, uninzi lweemigodi zamalahle eColombia ziye zamiswa.
ICerejón yenye yezona nkampani zivelisa amalahle amakhulu eColombia, apho iBHP Billiton (BHP), iAnglo American (Anglo American) kunye neGlencore nganye iphethe isithathu sezabelo. Ukongeza, iDrummond ikwangusomashishini omkhulu wemigodi eColombia.
IColumbia Prodeco yinkampani ephethwe ngokupheleleyo yiGlencore. Ngenxa yokwehla kwamaxabiso amalahle ehlabathi ngenxa yobhubhane omtsha we-crown pneumonia, iindleko zokusebenza zenkampani zinyukile. Ukusukela ngoMatshi kunyaka ophelileyo, imigodi yamalahle yaseProtico iCalenturitas kunye neLa Jagua ibisoloko ilungiswa. Ngenxa yokungabikho koqoqosho oluzinzileyo, iGlencore yagqiba ekubeni iyeke isivumelwano sokumba imigodi yamalahle kwinyanga ephelileyo.
Nangona kunjalo, idatha ibonisa ukuba ngo-2020, ingeniso yerhafu yamalungelo okumba amalahle eColombia iya kuhlala ikwindawo yokuqala phakathi kwazo zonke izimbiwa, kwi-1.2 trillion pesos, okanye malunga ne-328 yezigidi zeerandi zaseMelika.
