just grow coffee....
Amount of Coca Leaf Needed to Make Cocaine. In order to make 1 kilogram of cocaine, drug producers need to cultivate around 370 kilograms of coca leaf, or over 800 pounds. The producers need over two acres of land in order to grow enough coca leaf to create a kilo of cocaine
2 acres of land = 1 kilo of cocaine
selling price of 1 kilo of cocaine in Miami = a kilogram of cocaine in Miami can be purchased for around $25,000
1 kilo of cocaine = $25,000
so
2 acres of land = $25,000
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you consider coffee variety as Robusta the yield is anywhere between 2,800 kilos to 4,000 kilos of cherry per acre. Now, you will have to dry it...then it comes down to 1,200 kilos to 1,500 kilos (Dry cherry)
1,500 kilos per acre x2
2 acres of land = 3,000 kilos
selling price of 1 kilo of Columbian Coffee = 2.2 pound bag of Columbian coffee about $30.00
1 kilo of coffee = $30.00
3,000 kilos x $30 = $90,000
so
2 acres of land = $90,000
~~~~~~~~~~~~
2 acres of cocaine plants nets $25,000
2 acres if coffee plants nets $90,000
