Rhino horn is priced at roughly $65,000 per kilo, making it more valuable than gold or cocaine. Vietnam is one of the world’s largest consumers at the moment. The belief that rhino horn has magical healing properties is deeply rooted in Vietnamese culture. Rhino horn powder is used for a wide range of ailments—everything from hangovers to cancer. Rhino horn is increasingly perceived as a status symbol and sign of wealth, and it is often given to business partners to strengthen relationships.
