Coffee vs Cocaine..

[NomadPatriot]

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

--> Coffee Consumption: Over 50% of Americans over 18 years of age drink coffee every day. This represents over 150 million daily drinkers...

the 2006 National Survey on Drug Use and Health reports that 35.3 million Americans aged 12 and older reported having used cocaine.

150 million daily users of Coffee
vs
35.3 million occasional users of cocaine

coffee is likely 5-10 times more profitable
duh...……

learn geography first, it's Colombia, not Columbia.

also, i'm pretty sure you're wrong, missing some obvious fact that i don't give a shit, but I just saw something as I read quickly: Robusta is not the good coffee, so no one is paying 30 usd for 1kg of Robusta. Robusta is for your shitty Folgers. That's like 1 usd per pound.

well, ofc he's wrong...

f*ck. I gotta reply....

So it appears dealer / volume price for coke is being compared to end user / retail cost of coffee. Wrong Tim.

Street cost of that coke is 50 to 100 grand depending on quantities bought, AND assuming the multiple folks it's passed through haven't stepped all over it (which I guaranty you they have). That adds another 30+ percent.

Finally, figure in the fact that coke is 5-10,000 times more fucking fun.

Duh.

At $90,000 per year you'll never pay off 2 acres of land in Maimi.

I'd build high end condominiums.

robusta is disgusta

perhaps the problem with the math is that honest work is taxed while illegal work is not

That is one of the many problems with the logic here lol. Using retail pricing to calculate the profit of growers is a much larger one.

The spot price for 1lb of coffee is $1.07, not $30.

yeah I am the one who has a problem with Math... I never quoted a 1 pound price of coffee at $30... --> a Kilo is 2.2 pounds Genius..


the spot price in South America for a kilo of cocaine is $1800...

my pricing was done on a per kilo rate in American retail..

[KoolBak]

American retail. That's what I'd pay for coke. And apparently I can score an eight ball for $90.

Let me know where. Now.

I don't deal drugs anymore.. sorry
but if you are the end of the line as far as buying drugs goes.. that's your own fault... try buying quantity.. instead of being a street fiend..
but sounds like you are happy being there... buying stepped on cut drugs from Ralph at the local Trailer Park.. ... ( you might enjoy the laxative...) so whatever floats your boat Bak

street price of a cup of Starbucks costs $5.00... probably takes 1 tablespoon of coffee to make that...
