Translated from Municipal
website:
"Yellow represents richness; the main economical activity of
the municipality, corn, is the source of the nickname "Corn
Capital of Colombia".
White symbolizes peace and harmony of the villagers.
Green represents the mountains, "mecestas" and the
green valleys of Mercaderes Cauca."
