Submission statement:

Fentanyl production in Sinaloa, Mexico, has faced challenges, including a ban by the Chapitos faction of the Sinaloa Cartel and a decline in prices. Producers are adapting by centralizing control within the cartel, requiring permission and increased security measures to operate. While these changes may impact the market, the overall trajectory of fentanyl production remains uncertain.
