Sources: Plurinational State of Bolivia: calculations based on coca leaf yield surveys by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) (Yungas de La Paz) and
scientific studies by the Drug Enforcement Administration of the United States of America (Chapare). Colombia: UNODC/Government of Colombia. Peru: calculations
based on coca leaf to cocaine conversion ratio from scientific studies by the Drug Enforcement Administration.

a) Owing to a lack of updated conversion factors in Bolivia (Plurinational State of) and Peru, no final estimates of the level of cocaine production can be
provided. Detailed information on the ongoing revision of conversion ratios and cocaine laboratory efficiency is available in the World Drug Report 2010
(United Nations publication, Sales No. E.10.XI.13), p. 249.
b) Values for Colombia for 2014-17 have been revised, using an improved methodology, to take into account the participation of new actors in the
processing chain from coca leaf to cocaine. The same methodology was used for 2018, 2019 and 2020. Thus, the values for 2014-20, and hence the global
total for the same years, may not be directly comparable to earlier years.
c) Conversion of areas under coca cultivation into coca leaf and then into cocaine hydrochloride, taking yields, amounts of coca leaf used for licit purposes
and cocaine laboratory efficiency into account. Current global aggregates are based on "new" conversion ratios representing the most recent data available
to UNODC. See World Drug Report 2010 (United Nations publication, Sales No. E.10.XI.13, p. 249) for a discussion of "new" and "old" conversion factors
and detailed information on the ongoing revision of conversion ratios and cocaine laboratory efficiency.
d) With respect to data published in the World Drug Report 2016 (United Nations publication, Sales No. E.16.XI.7), the following amendments have been
made:
(i) the figure for Colombia relative to 2008 has been revised in order to ensure a consistent implementation of revisions to the methodology, affecting the
way coca production is calculated, for the entire time series 2005-2015 (for details, see Colombia Coca Cultivation Survey Report 2014 (UNODC, 2015)
and Colombia Survey of territories affected by illicit crops 2015, Annex 3 (UNODC 2016));
(ii) totals for 2009-2012 have been revised to rectify minor inaccuracies in data processing.

Dear Thomas,
I am sharing the files containing the 2019 global aggregate for coca cultivation and cocaine production.

Just a small summary of what was done to compute the cocaine manufacture, to facilitate your revision and for our records:
1. Colombia: new figure for 2019, already included in the pre-pub table (1137 ton of 100% pure cocaine, tiny increase with r
2. Bolivia: not published at national level, as you explained us (many thanks!), better to keep considering 12000 ha of legal c
