> there are killings related to cocaine traffic in Europe

Which is a problem created by the stupid “war on drugs”. If you make it impossible for parties to access the legal system to resolve any disputes, you’re forcing them to resolve them via extrajudicial means.

You don’t generally hear about killings within the traffic of any other commodity such as vegetables or IT goods. In fact we don’t even call it “traffic” but just trade.

Of course you do, especially if you’re in Mexico where the cartels have now expanded beyond drugs. A web search for "mexican cartels avocados" might do you well.

Another example is vanilla in Madagascar, where dozens of murders have occurred. Beyond local turf fights, Russian and Chinese organized crime has been involved in Madagascar’s spice and hardwood sectors for many years now.

There are killings and exploitation for a lot of other things, gold, diamonds, rare earths, coffee, avocados you name it.

Avocado farms in New Zealand get robbed when prices start approaching $8NZD a a avocado, :'(. I feel sorry for the farmers. We have no avocados on our farms.

Quite a bit of olive oil recently as well
