2. Agriculture, Fishing, and ForestryIn this report I will give a brief overview of the history, economy and culture of Bolivia. Bolivia was one of the first countries in the Spanish Empire to attempt a break from Spain, but it was one of the last to succeed. The Spanish suppressed the first critical rebellion in May 1809. Bolivia declared its independence from Spain on August 6, 1825, and took the name Bolivia in honor of South American independence leader Simon Bolivar.

The main Bolivian crops are soybeans, sugar, chestnuts, potatoes, cassava, bananas, maize, rice, plantains, and citrus fruits. Jaime Paz Zamora became president in May 1989 of Bolivia.

The Bolivian government had no reason to try to stop the drug trade in their country; cartel leaders were paying huge payments to government officials. Nearly the entire non-farming labor force is organized, most of it in unions belonging to the Central Obrera Boliviana, the central labor federation.
