Tomatoes fly at Colombia's Gran Tomatina Festival

Around 20,000 revellers gathered in Sutamarchán, Colombia, to throw over 45 tonnes of tomatoes at each other. The Gran Tomatina festival, now in its 15th year, is hosted to celebrate the economy of Sutamarchán, which is centred around tomato production. Mayor Miguel Andrés Rodríguez said "between 70 and 80 percent of families [in Sutamarchán] live off tomatoes. This is a tribute to them." The festival uses tomatoes which are overripe, or otherwise not suitable for consumption.

Colombia oil and gas E&P investment could jump 8% in 2025, industry group says

BOGOTA, May 29 (Reuters) - Colombia's investment in exploration and production (E&P) of hydrocarbons could jump some 8% this year to reach $4.68 billion, Colombia's leading industry group said on Thursday, warning this would not prevent a drop in gas production. The Colombian Oil and Gas Association (ACP) said the resources would however, maintain the South American nation's current levels of crude oil production. Investment last year was $4.33 billion, according to the ACP. "Today more investment is required to produce the same amount of oil, due to the natural depletion of the fields and the complexity of the operating environment," ACP President Frank Pearl said. "For gas, we are not managing to either increase production or replenish reserves, which is double the challenge when it comes to energy self-sufficiency," he added. The ACP estimated that $740 million would be invested in exploration this year, while $3.94 billion would go toward production so the country can keep pumping between 760,000 and 770,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, similar to the 772,000 boepd recorded in 2024. However, it predicted that gas output would decline to 905 million cubic feet per day, compared to 959 million cubic feet last year. Since coming into office in 2022, President Gustavo Petro has sought to reduce the country's dependence on fossil fuels, a major contributor to the nation's economy, and move towards solar and wind energy projects.
