Colombia’s Cocaine Production Surges by 50% to 2664 Tons in 2023, UN Report Reveals
Oct 18, 2024, 11:13 PM
A United Nations report estimates that Colombia produced 2664 tons of cocaine in 2023, marking a 50% increase from the previous year. This surge in production is attributed to a significant rise in coca leaf farming, which hit a two-decade high in 2023. The report highlights the impact of President Gustavo Petro’s new strategy for combating illegal drugs, which has coincided with record levels of cocaine production. Colombia remains the world's largest exporter of cocaine, with the latest figures reflecting a substantial growth in both coca cultivation and cocaine output.
