Bolivia Coca Farmers

18-year-old Rodriguez Gomez sits in his pile of coca leaves before packing them into bags in order to sell later in the day in Eterazama, Bolivia. Every three months, the Gomez family harvests their coca plants to sell. While it is difficult to make a solid living growing coca, Gomez says he plans to continue working with the plant and hopes to take over the family farm when he grows up.
