Southeast Asia Opium
Cultivation and Production
SOURCE:CIA 1999 REPORT
Opium cultivation and production in
the Golden Triangle dropped sharply
to the lowest levels since 1988, as
drought and eradication affected the
crop. In Burma, hot, dry weather, in
combination with Rangoon's first
eradication effort since 1988,
reduced cultivation by 16 percent
and potential production by 26
percent. Most cultivation is centered
in the northeastern Shan State.
