Work/Banana planatation
Hello! I am currently working on a Colombian Spanish text and have come across the word 'bacadilla'. I'm not quite sure what it means. My guess would be factory/workshop/factory floor.
Context: The speaker works on a banana plantation in Colombia and is describing his work as a manual labourer.
Example: mi trabajo implica hacer diferentes cosas, soy embolsador, pero en estos momentos estoy en bacadilla por 3 meses por una operación, en la bacadilla me toca bajar guantes, desflorar y hacer pacas.
Any help is always greatly appreciated!

Bacadilla; así le nombran en el sureste del país al área que se destina para recolectar la madera extraída de la selva. Es el lugar donde regularmente se cargan las plataformas para enviar la madera en rollo a nuestra planta en Michoacán para la fabricación de tus PISOS DE MADERA.
