A Quote by Ollanta Humala
I think the coca grower needs an alternative to stop growing coca. We need to have a comprehensive policy, which means separating the coca-growing population from the drug-trafficking networks through more presence of the state in the fields of health, education, infrastructure. We need to fight against money-laundering and the exporting of large amounts of cocaine through our ports.

Take the folks at Coca-Cola. For many years, they were content to sit back and make the same old carbonated beverage.
