Cocaine Boom

Legal and illegal production of coca leaf is booming in Latin America.
Evo Morales announced that Cuba and Venezuela committed to buy coca
leaves produced in the Bolivian regions of Chapare and Yungas. The
commitment resulted from negotiations of a trade agreement among the
three countries branded Tratado de Comercio de los Pueblos (TCP), to be
signed on 29 April.
On the illegal front, the latest data released by White House's Office
of National Drug Control Policy states that coca production in Colombia
increased by 24% in 2005. America's sponsored Plan Colombia is clearly
failing on the supply side.
Coca leaves are the base ingredient for the production of cocaine.
It's just natural to expect that with such a production increase,
access to raw material for the production of cocaine will be
facilitated.
We are on the verge of a cocaine boom in consumer markets such as the
U.S. and the E.U.
