Wide of Garcia STORYLINE: President Alan Garcia on Tuesday offered an unorthodox alternative use for the coca leaf, the raw material for cocaine, saying "It could be incorporated into regular consumption." At a gathering of foreign correspondents at the Government Palace in Lima, Garcia said coca leaf has good nutritional value. He said it was a mistake to vilify coca, considered for centuries a sacred medicinal and ceremonial plant in Andean culture, and focus on its reputation as the raw material for the highly addictive drug cocaine. To support his point, Garcia drew an analogy with oil, which when it was first discovered had no use. "The coca crops are like oil that was unused, and because of technology, it turned into a treasure," he said. He also suggested it was good for colds and sore throats. Peru is the world's second largest producer of cocaine after Colombia. Coca is high in calcium and vitamins and leftist Presidents Evo Morales of Bolivia and Hugo Chavez of Venezuela have publicly promoted the plant, suggesting adding it to everything from toothpaste to soft drinks. But a recent report published by Peru's non-profit Centre of Information and Education to Prevent Drug Use cited several studies saying nutrients in coca cannot be absorbed from the leaf into the human body. Garcia said his government's counter-drug policy is based "fundamentally" on controlling the sale of sulphuric acid, ether, kerosene and organic solvents, which are all used by drug traffickers to soak the leaves to create an intermediate form of raw cocaine paste. The paste is then further refined into cocaine. In October, Garcia pledged in a meeting in Washington with U.S. President George W. Bush to continue a policy of manual eradication of coca and to pursue development programmes to replace coca with alternative crops. Bush is expected this week to sign a six-month renewal of trade benefits for Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and Bolivia under the Andean Trade Promotion and Drug Eradication Act, or ATPDEA. The ATPDEA allows duty-free imports for thousands of goods from the Andean countries as a reward for cooperating in the war on drugs. Eradication is a touchy, and deadly, issue in Peru. Coca growers who vehemently oppose the policy won several key mayoral posts in Peru's central and southern jungle in regional and municipal elections in November.
