@2086 Illicit drugs
Afghanistan
world's largest producer of opium; cultivation dropped
48% to 107,400 hectares in 2005; better weather and lack of
widespread disease returned opium yields to normal levels, meaning
potential opium production declined by only 10% to 4,475 metric
tons; if the entire poppy crop were processed, it is estimated that
526 metric tons of heroin could be processed; source of hashish;
many narcotics-processing labs throughout the country; drug trade
source of instability and some antigovernment groups profit from the
trade; 80-90% of the heroin consumed in Europe comes from Afghan
opium; vulnerable to narcotics money laundering through informal
financial networks
