Question

Who was the largest exporter of coca in the world?
Answered by GPT 3.5
As an AI language model, I can provide information up to September 2021. Historically, the largest exporter of coca leaves and coca-derived products has been Bolivia. However, it's important to note that coca leaves are distinct from cocaine, which is an illegal and controlled substance due to its stimulant and psychoactive properties. Bolivia has a long history of indigenous cultural use of coca leaves, for traditional and medicinal purposes, and the country has sought international recognition for its legal and regulated coca industry.
