Peru Coca Survey for 2005
PREFACE
The total surface of coca cultivation in Peru in 2005 was estimated at 48,200 hectares, a 4%decrease compared to 2004 (50,300 ha).
This assuages concerns of the disturbing rise surveyed in 2004, which provoked fears of apossible return to the 1990s when Peru was the worlds leading coca producer. Indeed, it suggeststhat 2004 was an exception in a steady downward trend that has cut coca cultivation by more thanhalf in the past decade.
The downward trend is mainly due to resolute eradication campaigns in the Alto Huallaga region(San Martin) and in the San Gaban valley.
At the same time, as in other Andean countries, the sustainability of positive trends and socialprogress cannot be assured in the absence of viable alternatives.
Peru in partnership with key donors and UNODC has many commercially viable examples of
alternative development products. This is not aid. Coffee, cocoa, palm hearts, organic cotton, riceand other products are sold successfully in international and national markets. The farmersenterprises supported by UNODC alone sold nearly US$ 40 million worth of products in 2005,mostly in sophisticated export markets.
However, the number of farmers being assisted through such programmes is limited, probably toonly ten percent of those who need it. It is essential to expand these activities. Otherwise farmerswill not break their dependence on illicit crops and coca will remain economically attractive forfamilies in regions where poverty is very high and where there are no alternative livelihoods.
A word of caution. We know there have been improvements in techniques to increase coca leafand cocaine production yields. This means that reductions in coca surface could be undone by an
increase in yields. UNODC will soon be in a position to apply updated indicators to measure yieldsmore accurately.
UNODC calls on donors and international financial institutions to support Peru in the delivery ofintegrated drug control actions. This includes increasing and expanding the opportunities whichalternative development creates in coca growing areas to reduce supply and increase thedevelopment prospects of Perus impoverished farmers. It is equally important for the main cocaineconsuming markets in the Americas and Europe to strengthen their demand reduction efforts.

Peru Coca Survey for 2005
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2005, the total area under coca cultivation in Peru was estimated at 48,200 ha. This representsa decrease of 4% over 2004 (50,300 ha). The decrease was mainly due to the eradicationcampaigns implemented in the department of San Martin in Alto Huallaga region and in the San
Gaban valley. In these two regions alone, coca cultivation decreased from 4,000 ha in 2004 to 670ha in 2005. This decrease was slightly offset by increases in others regions of Atlo Huallaga, andby relatively small increases in Apurimac-Ene and Aguaytia.
In 2005, the insecurity prevailing in the coca growing areas prevented further work on coca leafyields. Assuming an average sun-dried coca leaf yield of 2,200 kg/ha similar to the average yieldobtained in 2004, the total sun-dried coca leaf production in Peru was estimated at 106,000 metrictons for 2005. Of this amount, a study of the National Institute of Statistics and Computer Science(INEI) estimated that about 9,000 metric tons corresponded to the annual demand for coca leavesfor traditional, commercial or industrial uses. The balance is used for cocaine production.
Assuming a cocaine yield per hectare of 4.1 kg/ha similar to the average yield obtained in 2004 -,
the total potential cocaine production in Peru was estimated at 180 metric tons. Thus, potentialcocaine production in Peru decreased by 5% compared to 190 metric tons estimated for 2004.Potential Peruvian cocaine production represents 20% of world potential cocaine production.
The potential farm-gate value of the sun-dried coca leaf production amounted to about US$ 307million, estimated from the sale of 106,000 metric tons of coca leaf at 2.9 US$/kg in 2005. Thisrepresents about 0.4% of the 2004 GDP estimated at US$ 68.6 billion1.
The Peruvian government reported the eradication of 12,232 ha of coca fields in 2005, of which8,966 ha were eradicated by CORAH as part of its forced eradication programme and 3,266 hawere voluntary eradicated as part of DEVIDA-CADAs programme of voluntary eradication. Thiscorresponds to an increase of 19% compared to the 10,257 ha eradicated in 2004.
Between 2004 and 2005, according to the Peruvian anti-narcotics police (DIRANDRO), seizures ofcocaine paste and cocaine hydrochloride decreased. However, destruction and seizures of cocaleaves increased. Seizures of cocaine hydrochloride decreased from 7,3 mt in 2004 to 2,1 mt in2005, while seizures and destruction of coca leaves increased from 916 mt to 1,525 mt.
The monitoring system in Peru is part of UNODC global Illicit Crop Monitoring Programme. Thisprogramme has been assisting the Peruvian Government in the implementation and refinement ofa national coca monitoring system since 1998.

Peru Coca Survey for 2005
1 INTRODUCTION
In response to the decisions of the 1998 United Nations General Assembly Special Session onDrugs, UNODC developed and implemented a global Illicit Crop Monitoring Programme (ICMP).Through this programme, UNODC supports member states in establishing a crop monitoringsystem to monitor illicit cultivation of coca and opium poppy. The Programme is currently
operating in Afghanistan, Myanmar, Laos, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and Morocco.
In 1998, UNODC started working with DEVIDA to develop a national coca monitoring system inPeru. Using aerial photography, the project produced a detailed mapping (at 1/20,000 scale) of allthe coca cultivation areas in 2000. Every year since then, satellite images were used to update theestimates. This report presents the findings of the 2005 Survey.
In Peru, the General Law on Drugs enacted in 1978 prohibits the cultivation of coca and seedlingsin new areas within the national territory. This reference to cultivation includes the grafting andrenovation of existing coca bushes. In 1978, another law established the National Coca Enterprise(ENACO), which has a monopoly on the commercialization and industrialization of the coca leaves.Therefore, the selling of coca leaves to any party other than ENACO is considered illicit by national
law.
The Government also established in 1996 a Committee for the Fight Against Drug Consumption(CONTRADROGAS), renamed National Commission for Development and Life without Drugs(DEVIDA) in 2002. DEVIDAs objectives are to design, coordinate and implement policies andactivities aimed at national drug control.
Until the mid-1990s, Peru was the worlds main coca cultivating country. Today, it is the secondmajor producer of coca far behind Colombia.
The reduction in coca cultivation in Peru in the mid-1990s was linked to the sharp decline in boththe coca leaf prices and the demand for Peruvian coca leaf. In 1995, trade in coca leaf on the local
market ceased and, from 1995 to 1998, the prices of coca leaf remained lower than its productioncosts. Farmers abandoned their coca fields and coca cultivation dropped from 115,300 ha to38,700 ha, or 66%, between 1995 and 1999.
After 1999, coca prices increased slowly while the prices of licit crops (coffee and cacao)decreased. Farmers started to re-activate their abandoned coca fields and coca cultivation roseagain in Peru. To some extent, the increase has been contained by the presence of alternativedevelopment projects, as well as the introduction of eradication measures, which include bothforced eradication conducted by CORAH (Ministry of Interior) and voluntary eradication schemesconducted by DEVIDA.

The decrease in coca cultivation observed in 2005 was the results of the eradication campaignsimplemented by CORAH during that year. Eradication efforts were particularly important in twodepartments: the department of Puno in San Gabns valley, and the department of San Martin inAlto Huallaga region. As a result, in San Gabans valley, coca cultivation decreased from 2,700 haas of September 2004 to 300 ha as of July 2005, corresponding to a reduction of 91%. In thedepartment of San Martin, coca cultivation in the valleys of Mishollo and the region of Pizana-
Polvora, where most the eradication campaign took place, totalled 1,316 ha in 2004, but only 369ha in 2005, corresponding to a decrease of 72%.
The decrease in coca cultivation in San Gaban and Mishollo/Pizano-Polvara was offset by smallincreases in others regions of Atlo Huallaga, and by increases in Apurimac-Ene and Aguaytia.

Peru Coca Survey for 2005
Despite the decrease between 2004 and 2005, coca cultivation in Peru remained the secondlargest after Colombia. It represented 30% of the 2005 global coca cultivation, compared to 33% in2004. A percentage that remained much lower than ten years ago, when coca cultivation in Peruaccounted for 54% of the cultivation in the world.
The decreases in Peru and Bolivia were offset by the increase in coca cultivation in Colombia, andthe global level of coca cultivation remained unchanged between 2004 and 2005.

Peru Coca Survey for 2005
2.1.1 REGIONAL ANALYSIS
In Peru, most coca cultivation is concentrated in 14 large valleys and 8 smaller valleys. Thesevalleys can be grouped in three main regions, making up 91% of the total cultivation in 2005: AltoHuallaga, Apurimac-Ene and La Convencin y Lares. Each region has its own characteristics:While La Convencin y Lares is the main supplier of the domestic consumption of coca leaf, cocacultivation in Apurimac-Ene and Alto-Huallaga are almost exclusively oriented for the production ofcocaine for domestic and international markets.
Coca cultivation in others areas like San Gaban and Inambari-Tambopata at the border with Bolivia,Aguayta and Palcazu- Pichis- -Pachitea in the central part of the country, Maraon in the northernarea close to the border with Ecuador and Putumayo of Loreto department close to Colombia, onlyaccounted for 9% of the 2005 total. Coca cultivation in these areas has mainly been orientedtowards the production of cocaine.
Altogether, in 2005 coca cultivation could be found at various levels in 12 out of the 24departments of Peru (Cajamarca, Amazonas, La Libertad, San Martn, Loreto, Huanuco, Ucayali,Pasco, Junin, Ayacucho, Cusco and Puno).

Peru Coca Survey for 2005
2.1.1.1 Coca cultivation in Alto Huallaga
The Alto Huallaga region is located on the Eastern side of the Andes mountain range, in the hightropical or subtropical forests of the departments of San Martin and Huamuco. In this region, cocabush is cultivated between 400 and 1,400 meters above sea level. Deforestation is important in theregion and mostly due to agricultural exploitation of land that should rather be protected or devotedto forest or forestry activities.
The Alto Huallaga is one of the three main coca growing regions of Peru where coca cultivationhas long been established. The 16,039 ha estimated in 2005 accounted for 33% of the nationaltotal. It represented a 5% decrease compared to 2004, but despite this decrease, Alto Huallagaremained in 2005 the main centre of coca cultivation in Peru, ahead of Apurimac and LaConvencin y Lares.
Between 2004 and 2005, a decrease of 5% was noted in Alto Huallaga. The decrease is mostly theresult of intense eradication campaigns implemented by CORAH and that took place throughout2005. The eradication campaigns targeted in particular the lower valley of the Mishollo river, thecoca fields around the villages of Pizana, Yanjanca and Huamuco, as well as the lower valley of
the Tocache river (on the left bank). The eradication implemented by CORAH eliminated seedbeds,new fields that had not yet been harvested, as well as coca fields in full production.

Beside the decrease in coca cultivation in the areas mentioned above, coca cultivation actuallyincrease in other areas like in the small valleys of the Aspuzana, Cuchara, Magdalena, SantaMartha, Camote, Frijol, Huamuco and on the leaf bank of the Huallaga river. In these areas, cocacultivation increased by about 13% between 2004 and 2005. During the verification over flight, itwas also noted that farmers were preparing new fields, of the size and in environment usuallysuitable for coca cultivation. This could be an indication that there could be more coca cultivation inthese areas in 2006.
As was the case in previous years, most of Alto Huallagas coca cultivation took place in theMonzon valley. Monzon accounted for 70% of the coca cultivation of the Alto Huallaga, and 23% ofthe national total with 11,230 ha. This amount of coca cultivation was roughly similar to the 11, 325
ha registered in 2004. As there were no eradication efforts conducted in this valley in 2005, nor anyalternative development activities, and that prices of coca leaf and its derivatives remained high,the difference between 2004 and 2005 was mainly attributed to the different type of satelliteimages used for both years. Indeed, in 2005, it was not possible to cover the whole Alto Huallagawith SPOT5 images like in 2004 because of intense cloud cover and it was therefore decided touse a combination of IKONOS (more precise but smaller than SPOT images) and Landsat5images (less precise but larger than SPOT images).

Although coca cultivation rem ained relatively stable between 2004 and 2005 in M onzon area, it
was noted during the verification flights that farm ers were preparing new fields suitable for coca
cultivation, and even new fields of less than one year old which were not counted in the 2005
census, but that will be productive in 2006.
Coca fields have long been established in M onzn valley and m ost of them are over 20 years old.
Typically, coca fields in M onzn valley are less productive than in other parts of Alto Huallaga.
However, there were recent reports over the past three years of farm ers interspersing new cocaplants am ong older coca plants to increase the density and thereby their coca leaf yield.
The econom y of M onzn valley is alm ost exclusively dependent on coca cultivation for the cocaine
m arket. Up-to-date data on the num ber of persons living in this valley does not exist. However
local authorities usually m entioned about 35,000 inhabitants living in the valley, but this does not
take into account the external labour recruited for harvesting of coca leaf and processing of coca
paste. The coca farm ers organizations of M onzn strongly opposed the efforts of the governm ent
to reduce coca cultivation, and the insecurity and violence brought by these organizations were
constant in 2005. These tense conditions, which prevailed for the past three years, have prevented
the local authorities and the personnel of alternative developm ent projects from entering the valley
and working with the 1,200 people registered as beneficiaries of Alternative Developm ent projects
in M onzn.
Although there was no eradication of coca fields in M onzon valley in 2005, the anti-narcotic police,
DIRANDRO, conducted a num ber of operations aim ed at the destruction of m aceration pits,
seizures of m aterials and destruction of clandestine laboratories.

cultivation in Alto Huallaga, but only 3% of the national level. Between 2004 and 2005, the level of
coca cultivation rem ained stable at 1,507 ha. However, it was noted during field visits and
overflights that farm ers w ere preparing new fields, suitable for coca cultivation, an indication that
coca cultivation could increase.

2.1.1.2 Coca cultivation in Apurimac-Ene
The region is situated in the central part of the country extending over 12,000 sq km in the valleysof the rivers Apurimac and Ene, among the departments of Ayacucho, Cusco and Junn. The reliefis uneven, and coca cultivation takes place at altitudes ranging between 550 and 2,000 metersabove sea level.
Coca cultivation has long been established in Apurimac-Ene, predominantly on the steep slopesareas where the only other crops that can be grown are coffee and a few leguminous. To a lesserextent coca is also grown in areas of lower slopes, sharing the land with annual crops like maize,yucca, beans, sesame and permanent crops like cacao and fruit trees.
Apurimac-Ene is the second largest coca growing region of Peru, and with 15,530 ha in 2005, itrepresented 32% of the national total. This represented an increase of 6% compared to 2004. Theincrease was distributed over the valley, and it was not possible to identify a particular regionwhere an increase took place. The main centers of coca cultivation continued to be around thevillages of Santa Rosa, Palmapampa, Llochegua, Monterrico, Catarata and Alto Pichari.

Coca cultivation in Apurim ac-Ene is notoriously m ore sophisticated than in other valleys,
characterized by a high density of the coca plants (up to 100,000 plants/ha) com bined with an
intense use of fertilizers and pesticides. New plants are readily available from existing seedbeds,
either to be planted on new fields or to increase the plant density of old fields. There were also
report of farm ers being advised by experts to im prove their coca yields. For these reasons, it is in
Apurim ac-Ene that the highest coca yields are obtained. Reports of annual yield above 4,000 kg/ha
are m ore and m ore often frequent.
According to the population statistics of INEI, in 1994 there were 93,800 inhabitants (18,500
fam ilies) in Apurim ac-Ene. Since then, the population has naturally increased, but it is also likely
that it counts now with new m igrants from the poorest areas of the Andean region who arrived in
Apurim ac-Ene, attracted by the dem and for labour in the coca fields. A large m ajority of the
population in Apurim ac-Ene benefits directly or indirectly from coca cultivation.
In 2005, no forced eradication was im plem ented in the region, m ainly due to the strong opposition
from the farm ers organizations. The social tensions surrounding the issue of coca cultivation were
noticeable for the past three years and im peded the work of various organizations working in
alternative developm ent projects. Since 1995, UNODC has been im plem enting Alternative
Developm ent projects to im prove coffee and palm trees production, benefiting about 1,100 persons.
The sam e social tensions also prevented the im plem entation of voluntary eradication program m e
(4.4 ha voluntarily eradicated in 2005). There were however regular operations of the anti-narcotics
police to destroy coca m aceration pits and clandestine laboratories.

2.1.1.3 Coca cultivation in La Convencion y Lares
The region is situated in the province of La Convencion in the department of Cusco. The naturalvegetation is made of subtropical forests. Due to intense deforestation, the primary forest isnowadays only found in the higher parts of the region. Coca is mostly cultivated between 800 and2,000 meter above sea, in the valleys of the rivers Urubamba and Yanatile.
In 2005, coca cultivation reached 12,503 ha, representing 26% of the national total, which rankedthe region third in terms of coca cultivation, behind Alto Huallaga and Apurimac. Compared to 2004there was a slight decrease of 2% in coca cultivation. This small difference was mainly attributed tothe farmers practice of cutting their coca fields after three or four year of continuous production.

Historically, the region has been considered as the coca cultivation centre for the traditional use of
coca leaves. In 1978, the state com pany ENACO registered 12,685 coca farm ers for the cultivation
of 10,670 ha of coca bush. It was estim ated at that tim e that the coca leaf production am ounted to
7,400 m etric tons per year, of which 3,764 m etric tons (or 51% ) were destined to ENACO, the rest
being sm uggled outside the control of ENACO. Since then, the diversion of coca leaf intensified
due to the better price offered for coca leaf outside ENACOs m arket. In particular, in the past few
years, it was noted that farm ers im proved their coca leaf yields by increasing the coca plant densityand the use of fertilizers and pesticide.
However, coca leaf production from the region is supposed to be m ainly oriented towards
traditional uses like chewing, and not towards narco-trafficking. There was no report of eradication
nor destruction of m aceration pits or clandestine laboratories.
In 2005, a regional decree authorized coca cultivation, thereby recognizing the region as a
traditional center of coca cultivation. The decree gave to the coca plant the status of Regional
Natural, Biological and Cultural Heritage of Cusco, as well as botanical resource integrated to the
culture and cosm ovision of the Andean world and to the m edicinal custom s and traditions. It
recognized the region as traditional coca producing area and legalized coca cultivation in the
valleys of La Convencion, i.e. the valleys of Yanatile in the province of Calca and Qosipata in the
province of Paucartam bo, all in the departm ent of Cusco. However, the decree was invalidated by
the Constitutional Court.

2.1.1.4 Coca cultivation in Inambari-Tambopata
The rivers Inambari and Tambopata constitute the two main valleys for coca cultivation in theprovince of Macusani in Puno department. According to the National System of Land Classification,only 1% of the land would be suitable for agricultural activities while 99% of the land is on steepslopes considered protected areas because of their vulnerability to erosion. Coca cultivation mainlytakes place on these steep slopes, between 800 and 1,800 meter above sea.
In 2005, coca cultivation was estimated at 2,250 ha, representing 5% of the national total. Thiscorresponded to a slight increase compared to the level of coca cultivation in 2004 estimated at2,000 ha. In this region, coca cultivation is concentrated in the small valley of the river Inambari.

In the 80s, this area was considered as a traditional coca growing region. ENACO in 1988registered 1,778 coca farmers for a declared area of coca cultivation of 783 ha. In the 90s, theproduction increased and was apparently more and more oriented towards narco-trafficking.Recently, there were reports of production and marketing of cocaine paste. There were alsoreports of illegal smuggling of inputs necessary for the production of cocaine paste orhydrochloride, like kerosene, sulfuric acid and chalk among others.
During the field verification process, it was noted that in this region coca cultivation was ofteninterspersed or associated with other crops or bushes, which makes the detection of coca
cultivation more difficult. It was also noticeable that farmers tended to improve the management oftheir coca fields to increase their yields, in particular an increase in plant density and use offertilizers.
In general, coca farmers living in this region do not depend exclusively from coca cultivation, butalso have other crops like coffees, or have developed activities in neighboring areas. It is rare tofind farmers who only cultivate coca bush.
In 2005, there was no report of eradication or auto-eradication in the valley. It should be noted thataccess to this valley is increasingly difficult and risky because of the coca production destined fornarco-trafficking.

2.1.1.5 Coca cultivation in San Gaban
San Gaban region is presented on the same map as Inambari-Tambopata region. The valley of theSan Gaban river is part of the larger watershed of the Inambari river. It is situated in the north-western part of the department of Puno bordering Bolivia. The relief is uneven and covered by highaltitude tropical forest. Coca cultivation mostly takes place between 400 and 1,200 meter abovesea level, on the high slope areas situated in the middle and low parts of the San Gaban valley, upto its connection with the Inambari river. The area includes by the localities of Juliaca, PuertoMaldonado and Iapari at the border with Brazil.
The analysis of the SPOT5 image acquired in July 2005 over that area, showed that there were292 ha of coca cultivation in this region. This corresponded to a decrease of 90% compared to the2,700 ha registered in 2004, and only 0.6% of the national total. This spectacular decreasefollowed intense eradication efforts by CORAH, that reported the eradication of 1,900 ha of cocacultivation between October and December 2005.
The decrease in coca cultivation and its replacement by grasses and shrubs, can be noted in thefollowing snapshots of satellite images taken in 2004 and 2005.

2.1.1.6 Coca cultivation in Maraon, Putumayo, Huallaga Central and Bajo Huallaga
There were marginal levels of coca cultivation in the higher areas of the Maraon valley, situated inthe northern part of the Andean region, as well as in the Putumayo region close to the border withColombia in the north-eastern part of the country. Coca cultivation was estimated at only 350 ha forthese two regions.
In Maraon, in 1978, ENACO registered 900 coca farmers in the areas of Huayobamba and Balzas,for a total of about 300 ha.
The Putumayo region is situated along the Putumayo river that makes the border with Colombia.Although close to the important coca cultivation of Putumayo on the Colombian side of the river,coca cultivation on the Peruvian side was considered very low in 2005. Coca cultivation wasestimated at about 100 ha in 2005.
For the past three years, various eradication campaigns have been conducted in the regions ofHuallaga Central and Bajo Huallaga. In 2005, only about 150 ha of coca cultivation were detectedon the satellite images.

2.1.1.7 Coca cultivation in Aguaytia
Aguaytia is a valley situated in Aguaytia province in the department of Ucayali. The region is madeflat alluvial land and hills where coca cultivation takes place between 300 and 600 meters abovesea level.
Coca cultivation increased from 500 ha in 2004 to 917 ha in 2005, representing a 74% increase.During the verification overflight, many new coca fields and recently prepared fields were noted.This would mean that coca cultivation might continue to increase in 2006. However, cocacultivation in Aguaytia only represented 2% of the national total.

Most of the coca cultivation was concentrated around the locality of Huipoca, and small patches ofcoca cultivation could also be found along the Shambillo river. Coca fields were relatively lessdense and productive then in other regions. It could be found mixed with other crops and undertrees canopy. In these cases, the yield was probably even lower then on pure coca fields. Therewere little reports on the use of agrochemicals in the coca fields in this region.

Although coca cultivation from Aguaytia was destined for the cocaine market, coca cultivation didnot represent any longer the basis of the agricultural economy of the region. Most of the cropswere banana, pineapple, cotton, and recently palm oil plantation supported by UNODC. The palm
oil plantation of 2000 ha benefited to 400 persons, most of them former coca growers.
There were a few operations of voluntary eradication conducted in the area of Campo Verde (451ha) and in Aguaytia (1,001 ha). In 2005, DIRANDRO also reported the seizure of 393 kg of cocainepaste and 500 kg of cocaine hydrochloride.

2.1.1.8 Coca cultivation in Palcazu Pichis - Pachitea
The valleys of the rivers Palcazu, Pichis and Pachitea are situated in the province of Oxapampa inthe department of Pasco, and the region is often referred to as Selva Central, the country centralforest. The landscape is predominantly hilly, alternating with flat areas. Coca cultivation is foundbetween 300 and 500 meters above sea level.
In 2005, coca cultivation was estimated at about 211 ha, representing only 0.4% of the nationaltotal, and a decrease of 17% compared to the 300 ha found in 2004. As there was no eradicationin the region in 2005, the decrease was attributed to the limitation of the satellite images to detectcoca cultivation below tree canopy.

The presence of coca cultivation in this region has been attested since 1986. In the early 1990s,coca cultivation in this region reached up to 12,000 ha for a production of coca leaves orientedtowards cocaine production. The prices fall of the mid-nineties caused the end of coca cultivation inthe region. In 2004, coca cultivation often took place below tree canopy to avoid detection, whichresulted in very low coca leaf yield.
In 2000, UNODC launched an alternative development project mainly oriented towards the geneticimprovement of cattle, and the training of native communities in the extraction of latex from Heveatrees.
During the verification overflight in the north-western part of the region (between San Matias, andthe rivers Santa Isabel and Yanayacu in the district of Yuyapichis), a considerable amount of newcoca fields were spotted, along with coca seedbeds and newly prepared fields.

2.1.2 PRODUCTION COCA LEAF AND DERIVATIVES
UNODC continuously endeavours to refine its estimation of coca leaf and cocaine production. In2004, a coca leaf yield survey was initiated. As coca leaves are harvested several times during theyear, it is important that such yield survey spanned over a year or more. However, the fieldactivities planned in 2005 and that should have validated the results obtained in 2004 could not be
implemented because of the insecurity for staff prevailing in the main coca growing regions. Theresults obtained in 2004 thus continued to be used, but further work on the topic is needed to refineand complement these results in particular the conversion rate from coca leaf to cocaine.
In 2005, assuming an average sun-dried coca leaf yield of 2,200 kg/ha, the total sun-dried cocaleaf production in Peru was estimated at 106,000 metric tons. Of this amount, a study2 of theNational Institute of Statistics and Computer Science (INEI) estimated that about 9,000 metric tonscorresponded to the annual demand for coca leaves for traditional, commercial or industrial uses.The rest being destined for narco-trafficking.
Assuming a cocaine yield per hectare of 4.1 kg/ha similar to the average yield obtained in 20043 -,the total rounded cocaine production in Peru was estimated at 180 metric tons. Thus, cocaineproduction in Peru decreased by 5% compared to 190 metric tons produced in 2004.

2.2 PRICES O F CO CA LEAF AND ITS DERIVATIVES
In Peru, the annual average price of coca leaf in 2005 (SOL 9.4/kg or US$ 2.9/kg) was very sim ilar to the
annual average of 2004 that established at SOL 9.4 /kg (US$ 2.8/kg), illustrating the stability of the coca leaf
prices. Even though a decrease could be noted for the prices of coca leaf between Septem ber and
Decem ber, a decrease also noted for the cocaine paste prices between the sam e period, this trend m ight
have been seasonal, corresponding in a peak of harvest of coca leaf during the rainy season. In addition,
prices usually fell towards the end of the year, as farm ers tend to harvest just before Christm as to cover theirexpenses during the festive period. At the regional level, prices of coca leaf rem ained the highest in M onzon
region, where coca cultivation is widespread and the dem and high.

In 2005, the potential farm -gate value of the sun-dried coca leaf production am ounted to about
US$ 307 m illion, estim ated from the sale of 106,000 m etric tons of coca leaf at 2.9 US$/kg. This
represented about 0.4% of the 2004 G DP estim ated at US$ 68.6 billion4.
The stability of the prices of coca leaf was reflected in the stability of the price of cocaine paste.
Prices of cocaine paste rem ained unchanged between 2004 and 2005 at US$640 /kg. Like for the
prices of coca leaf, prices of cocaine base have been decreasing between Septem ber and

Like the prices of coca leaf and cocaine paste, prices of cocaine remained virtually unchanged inPeru between 2004 and 2005, at US$890 /kg. The annual average cocaine prices recorded in Peruis much lower then the average prices in Colombia (US$ 1,860/kg) and Bolivia (US$ 1,800/kg).The difference might be due to the fact that the price in Peru refers to the price in the producingregion, close to its processing, whereas prices in Colombia and Bolivia refer to whole sale prices inthe main cities.

2.3 REPORTED OPIUM POPPY CULTIVATION
The UNODC-supported national illicit crop monitoring system has not yet established a reliablemethodology for the detection of opium poppy in Peru. However, opium poppy cultivation wasconsidered negligible in 2005. Opium poppy was mainly cultivation in the mountain range. A reportof August 2004 of CADA (Alternative Development Assistance Body) mentioned that there wouldbe 223 districts with potential land for opium poppy cultivation in the departments of Amazonas,
Piura, Cajamarca, La Libertad and San Martn. There was also evidence of opium poppycultivation in Pasco, Hunuco, Ayacucho and Huancavelica.
Table 10: Reported opium poppy cultivation in Peru, 1995 2005 (ha)1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005

Source: DIRANDRO, n.a. = not available
DIRANDRO reported annual opium latex yield of about 8 kg/ha, and a conversion rate of 10 kg ofopium latex for 1 kg of heroin. Based on this estimates, heroin production would have been aroundaround 1 metric tons in 2004. A relatively small production compared to neighbouring Colombia
where heroin production is estimated at 2.5 metric tons in 2005.
In 2005, DIRANDRO reported the eradication of about 95.5 ha of opium poppy cultivation.

Peru Coca Survey for 2005
1) Identification and acquisition of the image
The 2005 Peru coca survey relied mostly on SPOT5 images, and to a lesser extent on IKONOSand Landsat5 images. In 2005, the cloud cover did not permit to acquire SPOT images over thewhole Alto Huallaga, and alternatives censors like IKONOS and Landsat5 were used.

SPOT5 possesses very good characteristics for crop monitoring. In combination with the olderSPOT4 satellite, the chances of acquisition of cloud free images are higher than with other sensors.In addition, due to an off-nadir viewing capability an area can be monitored more frequently. With aspectral sensitivity from the visible to the medium infrared and a spatial resolution from 2.5 meter(panchromatic) to 10 meter (multispectral), SPOT fulfils the requirements for vegetation monitoring.
The main disadvantage of this sensor is its relatively high price, which impedes the coverage oflarge areas on a regular basis. With a swath width is of 60 km, about 300 SPOT images would benecessary to cover the entire country. However, SPOT offers the possibility to purchase half orquarter of images. This option enabled to reduce the cost to cover the area of interest.
2) Image pre-processing
The SPOT 5 images are received at the level 1A. Depending on the cloud covers and hazepresent on the image, the images are filtered with an convolution algorithm. If the study area ismade of several images, the contrasts are levelled out.
The images were geo-referenced on the basis of ground control points from maps at the 1/50,000scale and the 2001, 2004 ortho-rectified images.

3) Definition of interpretation keys
The appearance of the coca fields on the satellite images depends on the field slope, the sunexposure (shaded or sunny areas of the satellite images) and the stage of development of thevegetation.
First the remote sensing experts defined the interpretation patterns of the different categories andstage of coca fields. Their experience enabled them to distinguish the following five patterns ofcoca cultivation:
a) Young coca fieldThis category corresponds to coca fields ofabout 12 months old. The coverage of cocafoliage accounts for 20% to 40% of the spectralcharacteristics of these fields, while theremaining spectral characteristics come fromthe soil. Ground information and previousyears mapping information are a crucial help
for the interpretation the coca fields.
b) Mature coca fieldThis category corresponds to coca fields from12 to 24 months old and older. Three or fourmonths after the harvest, these coca fieldshave a high coca foliage density and show ahigh level of contrast on the satellite images.
Generally speaking, the higher the density ofcoca plants, the higher the reflectance on thesatellite image. It is therefore easier to identifycoca fields in areas where density is high, likein Apurimac, than in areas where it is lower,like in Monzon and La Convencion-Lares.
c) Harvested coca fieldThis category corresponds to coca fields onwhich the leaves have been harvested andonly nude plants and stems remain. Most of
the spectral characteristics of these fieldscome from the colour of the soil. Theidentification and mapping of these fieldstherefore requires the use of additionalinformation, such as the 2001 census, as wellas field data on the surrounding environment.

d) Rehabilitated coca field
This category corresponds to abandoned cocafields recently rehabilitated. The rehabilitationprocess includes weeding and planting of newcoca plants in addition to old coca plants.These coca fields can be productive in a veryshort time. The first harvest can take place asearly as 3 to 4 months after the rehabilitation.
The spectral characteristics of these fields arethe same as for mature coca, but the use ofthe 2001 coca mapping enables theidentification of these rehabilitated coca fields.
e) Mixed cropsThis category includes parcels where the coca
crop, while maintaining its structure in the field(furrows and/or alternating lines), shares theground with licit crops. Associated crops aregenerally annual agricultural products, such asmaize and cassava.
The spectral characteristics of these fields arethe combination of the spectral characteristicsof the coca foliage, the associated crop and ofthe soil.
Once these patterns had been defined, coca fields were visually interpreted and their bordersdigitized on screen on a few sample areas. The resulting classification was printed at the scale1/50,000 for field verification.
4) Field verification and correction of the interpretation key
The field work enabled to refine the interpretation key, and to improve the characterization ofconfusing land use, mostly shrubby areas (purma), annual crops with short vegetation period,small pastures and small cleared areas.
5) Visual interpretation of coca fields
After the interpretation key had been corrected and refined, coca fields were classified visually onscreen for the entire area of interest. The experts have acquired a good knowledge of the areas ofinterest during the field verification process and have long experience with the project. They alsorelied on the aerial photography at the 1/20,000 scale acquired in 1999 and 2000, as well as theprevious year satellite images, to facilitate their interpretation.

6) Verification flights
Like in previous years, the results of the visual interpretation was checked during over-flight. In2005, the project used during these overflights a video camera linked to a GPS. With this newdevice, it was possible to replay the video on the computer and track the flight path on the satelliteimage using the software GeoVideo. A total of 15 hours of overflights were performed over theregions of Alto Huallaga (including Monzon), Apurimac, Pichis-Palcazu-Pachitea and Aguaytia.Snapshots of the video and the corresponding satellite images are in the chapter presenting theregional findings. The overfligths and the video recording was implemented in cooperation withCADA, the government body for Alternative Development.
7) Correction for slope
In Peru, 90% of the coca fields are on slope steeper than 20 degrees. To improve the overallresults, a digital elevation model based on 1/50,000 contour lines is used to correct the initial areawith the inclination of the underlying slope.

3.2 OPIUM POPPY CULTIVATION
The UNODC-supported national illicit crop monitoring system has not yet established a reliablemethodology for the detection of opium poppy in Peru and no data was available for 2005.Nevertheless, the level of opium poppy cultivation is considered negligible in Peru.
3.3 PRICES
Prices of sun-dried coca leaf and other commodities are collected through a network of 13collection points located in the following areas: Aguaytia (1), Apurimac (3), Inambari (3), Monzon(2), Tocache (1), and Uchiza (3).
Prices are collected once a month by project staff through semi-structured interviews of keyinformants selected among farmers, storekeepers and people who participate in the productionand distribution of illicit drugs.
