Coca Plant Yield Statistics
Coca plant yield can vary widely depending on various factors, but on average, it is reported to produce around 4-6 metric tons of coca leaves per hectare per year.
In this post, we explore the fascinating world of coca plant yield, delving into key statistics that shed light on the production and cultivation of coca plants in countries like Bolivia, Colombia, and Peru. From average yields per hectare to the impact of pests and diseases, these statistics offer valuable insights into the dynamics of coca cultivation and production in the Andean region. Join us as we uncover the numbers behind this controversial industry.
