Unlocking Salvador Moreno
The very crucial step in how to get Coca Leaves in Schedule I is unlocking Salvador “Sal” Moreno. Sal will serve as your exclusive supplier for Coca Seeds and Leaves. You have to build connections with his associates first before you can reach him. There are two ways to gain access to him such as:
Option 1: Through Javier Perez
You can build a strong relationship with Javier through being a regular customer. Purchase supplies and fulfill customer orders accurately to strengthen your relationship with him. Eventually, Javier will introduce you to Salvador “Sal” Moreno.
Option 2: Through Mac Cooper
Another way will be establishing a strong business relationship with his associate Mac Cooper. Be consistent in making deals with him and ensure every transaction is successful. After gaining his trust, he’ll help to connect you with Moreno.
Building on your reputation will successfully lead you to having contact with Moreno via phone message. Make sure you maintain strong ties with these associates and complete all orders with them.
Purchasing Coca Seeds
Now they’ve introduced you to Salvador Moreno, you can start purchasing supplies from him. Once he appears in your contacts, you can message him to arrange your purchases. He’ll give two pricing options for Coca Seeds. Make sure to have enough funds as it’ll be a great investment in the game:
- Dead drop delivery: $80 per seed (maximum purchase of 25 seeds/$2,000)
- In-person purchase: $150 per seed
Finding Moreno’s Location
His operation primarily is behind the Mayor’s House which is near the eastern edge of town. This is close to The Docks waterfront yet the area can be challenging to navigate. It is surrounded by a wooded area making it difficult to find. However, locating the shop helps you have direct access to making bulk purchases.
Growing Coca Leaves
Once you get the Coca seeds, you have to cultivate them to turn them into usable Coca Leaves. The Coca Leaves now will serve as your ingredient to make the profitable Coke product. Here’s how you can grow your acquired Coca Seeds:
- Set up either a grow tent or a pot with soil
- Then, plant the seed carefully
- Wait for it to grow (can be accelerated with proper equipment)
- Harvest the leaves
Hiring a Botanist will help you manage the growth process. Plus, this will help ensure that your Coca Seeds transform to Leaves successfully. After harvesting the Coca Leaves, it needs to undergo a special process to turn it into a high-value product.

Hanging your Coca Leaves on drying racks before processing helps to increase the product quality and value. Make sure to do so to maximize the profit from it.
