10. Newsbrief: Afghan Opium Harvest Estimated at 3,000 Tons
http://www.drcnet.org/wol/240.html#3000tons
The United Nations drug control office estimates that the Afghan
opium harvest will yield up to 3,000 tons of opium this spring.
That's what UN spokeswoman Antonella Deledda told a press
conference in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, the Frontier Post (Pakistan)
reported Monday. While well below the record Afghan crop of 1999,
when the yield hit 4,600 tons, the huge harvest is a remarkable
reversal from last year. In 2001, the Taliban effectively banned
opium growing and the estimated yield plummeted to 300 tons, most
of it from areas controlled by the Northern Alliance -- then an
opposition group, now the most powerful player in the new Afghan
government.
Burma, which displaced Afghanistan as the world's leading opium
producer last year during the Taliban ban, produced an estimated
1,200 tons last year. No estimate is available on current
production in Burma, but it appears likely that Afghanistan will
regain the title this year.
The stuff will be showing up as heroin in consumer markets from
Teheran and Karachi to Frankfurt and London later this year, after
enriching local warlords, corrupt officials and trafficking
organizations along the way.
