FIGURE 2. Stages of the supply chain where incidents of substandard, falsified, unregistered or stolen products were detected in Latin America (2017-2018), including individual detections by country.

Notes: Figure prepared by the author from data published in the NRA websites detailed in Table 1. Data includes incidents reported between January 2017 and December 2018. Total number of detections = 339. Individual incidents may have been detected at more than one stage of the supply chain. Percentages are calculated based on the total number of detections at different stages of the supply chain. Cases where this information was not reported were not taken into consideration for this section of the analysis. At the moment when searches were conducted (16 June, 2019), the NRAs of the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Uruguay did not have a website where incidents of SF and unregistered products were published.
