UNODC: Bolivia coca cultivation exceeds legal limit by 14,400 hectares

UNODC reports Bolivia's coca cultivation reached 36,400 hectares in 2025, exceeding the legal limit by 14,400 hectares, and contributing up to 15% of the Andean region's cocaine. This indicates a significant expansion of illicit coca production, challenging Bolivian government claims of control and potentially impacting regional drug policy and international relations.
