@ shadow27 - 17.11.20 - 06:47am The newcomers, members of a criminal group called the v*agras, were almost certainly clearing the forest to set up a grow operation. They wouldnt be planting marijuana or other crops long favored by Mexican cartels, but something potentially even more profitable: avocados. Mexicos multibillion-dollar avocado industry, headquartered in Michoacan state, has become a prime target for cartels, which have been seizing farms and clearing protected woodlands to plant their own groves of what locals call ''green gold.'' More countries should grow the crop. Here, ours come from a region around a place called 'Tzaneen'. A remarkable difference in price compared to those imported. We buy in bulk! Surplus every season. This restricts the importation of avocados from other countries which try to compete. So demand shifts elsewhere + our exports help bring global prices down. |

@ shadow27 - 17.11.20 - 06:55am In parts of Guerrero state, cartels control access to gold mines and even the price of goods in supermarkets. In one city, Altamirano, the local Coca-Cola bottler closed its distribution center last year after more than a dozen groups tried to extort money from it. The Pepsi bottler left a few months later. In Mexico City, bar owners in upscale neighborhoods must pay taxes to a local gang, while on the nations highways, cargo robberies have risen more than 75 percent since 2016. Can't blame locals in Latin America moving to the powerhouse to the north (America). |

Shads, this should've stayed in the drafts and get some spring onion on the windowsill so you don't find yourself resorting to unfortunate food
