The island country is a major grower of coca and exporter of coca paste     Under mounting international pressure, Puerto Pollo has launched a voluntary crop substitution plan aimed at the coca farmers, who grow plentiful of the dreaded leaf on the hilly slopes in the interior of the island. While the strategic location on the sea routes has made Puerto Pollo a key smuggling transit point, due to its tropical climate and four decades of corruption and political turmoil the country is also a major exporter of cocaine and, in lesser fashion, marijuana.   Coca has been cultivated in the country since ancient time for personal use, either chewing or tea, but starting from the Seventies began to be grown specifically for cocaine production. During the First Civil War, both rebels and the government either produced the drugs or taxed the traffickers as a mean to finance their military struggle; in the aftermath of the conflict the generals of both faction became drug lords and de facto ruled the country. Indeed, the catalyst for the Second Civil War was the discontent of former middle-rank combatants who found themselves cut off from the profits.   After four years of stable, if authoritarian, government under El Pollo Diablo, many nations are increasing their expectation that Puerto Pollo will stem its flow of narcotics. Coupled with the disruption of sea trade due to the Serevan War and the ambitions of the regime to make the country a prime tourist destination, Danjer Cove is finally taking the first step in doing something about it. The plan, at least in theory, will provide the farmers who eradicate their coca plantations with cash crops plants, such as coffee or bananas, along with tools and subsides.   Some analysts believe that the government is sincere in its effort to legitimize its economy and that farmers will adhere significantly to the program, while others are most skeptical and warn the plan will only make drug trafficking less visible and more sophisticated.
