La expansi\u00f3n de los cultivos de marihuana en un sector de Costa Rica resalta la lucha del gobierno por contener el tr\u00e1fico de drogas en zonas rurales y aisladas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un art\u00edculo <\/a>del diario costarricense La Naci\u00f3n explora c\u00f3mo la marihuana se ha convertido en el principal cultivo de los pueblos ind\u00edgenas que viven en la monta\u00f1osa regi\u00f3n central de la provincia de Lim\u00f3n. Un reportero viaj\u00f3 a la regi\u00f3n para ver los cultivos de primera mano, junto a un grupo de la polic\u00eda nacional que actualmente est\u00e1 llevando a cabo acciones de erradicaci\u00f3n tres veces al a\u00f1o. Aparentemente, los habitantes locales est\u00e1n m\u00e1s centrados en cultivar marihuana que en otras plantaciones tradicionales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Se estima que se han destruido alrededor de un mill\u00f3n de plantas en lo que va del a\u00f1o, seg\u00fan fuentes policiales. La cosecha es vendida por los productores en sacos de aproximadamente US$400, y se vende dentro del pa\u00eds, por lo general en dosis de cinco gramos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n La expansi\u00f3n de la econom\u00eda de la marihuana en Lim\u00f3n apunta a las dificultades que enfrentan las autoridades estatales cuando se trata de gobernar con eficacia en los lugares remotos del pa\u00eds. Las \u00e1reas de dif\u00edcil de acceso \u2013 incluyendo los parques nacionales<\/a> \u2013 han atra\u00eddo a los narcotraficantes que buscan mover cargamentos de coca\u00edna hacia el norte, y parece que la regi\u00f3n monta\u00f1osa de Lim\u00f3n se ha convertido ahora en un punto focal para el comercio de marihuana de Costa Rica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Siendo el \u00fanico pa\u00eds de Centroam\u00e9rica sin ej\u00e9rcito, Costa Rica se enfrenta al reto de afrontar la producci\u00f3n y el narcotr\u00e1fico con recursos m\u00e1s limitados. Tanto el presidente del pa\u00eds <\/a>como el Departamento de Estado de Estados Unidos han dicho que Costa Rica no est\u00e1 preparada para hacer frente al narcotr\u00e1fico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n En los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os, Costa Rica se ha convertido en un paradero importante<\/a> de los narcotraficantes que mueven cargamentos de coca\u00edna desde Suram\u00e9rica hacia Estados Unidos. Al parecer, las exportaciones de drogas que salen de la naci\u00f3n centroamericana ahora van a 39 destinos diferentes<\/a> en cuatro continentes, y hay indicios de que el pa\u00eds se ha convertido en una base de operaciones<\/a> para los narcotraficantes mexicanos y colombianos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La expansi\u00f3n de los cultivos de marihuana en un sector de
