LA PAZ, Bolivia - Cocaine production is on the rise in Bolivia, with Colombian and Mexican cartels hiring intermediaries to process the locally made coca paste there rather than exporting it, says Bolivia's top anti-drug officer.
Cartels are contracting a growing number of middle men to process the paste into cocaine in Bolivia, saving time they would otherwise spend processing it themselves, anti-drug police chief Oscar Nina told The Associated Press on Thursday in an interview.
