cultivation Coca Cola grew by 35% between 2020 and 2021, reaching an all-time high, according to a report UN published this Thursday, signaling the emergence of new human trafficking centers in southeastern Europe and Africa.
According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), based in Colombia, Peru and Bolivia, there were over 300,000 hectares of coca plantations in the three countries where cultivation is concentrated in 2021. Vein (Austria).
The harvested leaves are taken to chemists, who mix them with gasoline, lime, cement, and ammonium sulfate to make White paste.
This paste is then enriched with a cocktail of acids and solvents.
In 2020 production cocaine amounted to more than 2,000 tons, which is a record, according to the report.
After a temporary downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, global production has risen sharply over the past two years.
In addition to the expansion of coca bush cultivation, UNODC attributes this dramatic increase to the “improvement in the transformation process” of coca bush into cocaine hydrochloride.
In addition, the agency points to “constant growth” in demand over the past decade and seizures that hit a record high of nearly 2,000 tons in 2021.
expanding market
While the cocaine market remains highly concentrated in America and parts Europethe report warns that there is great potential for expansion in Africa and Asia.
“The increase in the global supply of cocaine should alert us all,” Gada Wali, Executive Director of UNODC, said in a statement.
The report also analyzes the emergence of new cocaine trafficking hubs, noting that countries in South Eastern Europe and Africa are increasingly being used as key transit areas for the drug.
North Sea ports such as Antwerp, Rotterdam and Hamburg have eclipsed the traditional entry points for cocaine into Western Europe in Spain and Portugal.
