- W2489574003 abstract "Illicit cultivation of opium poppies in Afghanistan has been increasing at high rates in recent years, especially in the Southwest in Hilmand (Helmand) Province, and a number of other provinces in the West of the country. As the climate of Afghanistan changes and droughts increase, the drought-tolerant poppy is an attractive crop to extremely poor people with little other recourse. Various ideas have been put forth to curtail the illegal activity, including ground eradication, aerial spraying, interdiction of precursor chemicals, stopping drugs at border crossings, arrest of drug lords, and other mechanisms, but all to little avail, except for some minor advances made from time to time. Close to US $7 billion has been outlaid to crush the trade, but it continues to do better than ever, with a record 6400 tons produced in 2014. New ideas of legalizing opium production to make inexpensive pharmaceuticals for poor developing countries have been shown to be economically not viable, especially in the face of resistance from Turkey, India, and Australia, and a few other countries that are licensed already to grow licit opium. Given on-going climate change and most probable ever-drier conditions in Afghanistan, the likelihood for continued increase in opium production is expected unless a most unlikely, complete reorganization of the government of Afghanistan and concomitant drastic diminution of corruption occurs under new President Ashraf Ghani." @default.
