DRUGS: Peru's dynamic drug trade
Peru's coca cultivation and cocaine processing is dynamic. According
to 2010 figures published by the United Nations office on Drugs and Crime
(Unodc) in its ‘World Drugs Report 2011', Peru's illicit coca
cultivation increased by 2% in 2010 over the previous year. Though not a huge
increase, Peru's coca cultivation has shifted geographically. It has re-surfaced
in areas previously said by the Lima government to be under control. In
addition, a greater amount of cocaine is being processed
in-country.
