text: That's a pretty heavy statement..."the Peruvian government is flooding our streets with cocaine". By the way, Colombia produces more cocaine than Peru, so maybe their government is doing it too?  Most of the cocaine produced in Peru is financed by the major Colombian cartels, that doesn't mean the Colombian government endorses drug trafficking.\n\nAnyway, Peru's national products are copper, silver, gold, petroleum, timber, fish, iron ore, coal, phosphate, potash, hydro power, natural gas, coffee, cotton, sugarcane, rice, potatoes, corn, plantains, grapes, oranges, coca; poultry, beef, dairy products; fish.  As you can see, cocaine is not part of the list.\n\nAs someone already said, the problem is more complex than that. Yes, there are some Peruvian government officials involved in drug trafficking, as well as there are American officials involved too.  But to say that the government of Peru is directly involved in the production and trafficking of cocaine is completely erroneous.
