Venezuela isn't a major coca cultivator or cocaine producer; primary sources are Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia, with Venezuela mainly acting as a transit hub for shipments. Domestic cocaine cultivation remains negligible, and there's no evidence of significant fentanyl production there— that's dominated by Mexican cartels using Chinese precursors. Its real asset is the world's largest proven oil reserves, around 300 billion barrels, which overshadows any illicit transit role.
