I don't know it because I never sat down and did the math.
I was watching a snippet of Drugs Inc last night. The show said that one kilo of cocaine costs only 3 dollars when it is first produced. This is one of the prices it holds before it reaches big distributors like Jon Roberts, and certainly before it hits the street at retail value, which makes the price soar.
The cartels are rich, and they are selling hundreds and thousands of kilos every so often, but it's not street value for them.
I saw that episode too the other day. Wasnt it like 20,000 per kilo once it reached Mexico and double that once it reached the U.s? Btw I think the end product was like 80,000 per kilo but I think that was in retail or how much money you make off a kilo of coke if you sold the kilo in baggies.
