@2086 Illicit drugs
Afghanistan
world's largest producer of opium; poppy cultivation
increased 17% to a near-record 202,000 hectares in 2007; good
growing conditions pushed potential opium production to a record
8,000 metric tons, up 42% from last year; if the entire opium crop
were processed, 947 metric tons of heroin potentially could be
produced; drug trade is a source of instability and the Taliban and
other antigovernment groups participate in and profit from the drug
trade; widespread corruption impedes counterdrug efforts; most of
the heroin consumed in Europe and Eurasia is derived from Afghan
opium; vulnerable to drug money laundering through informal
financial networks; regional source of hashish
