Résumé :
Opium cultivation in Myanmar remains at high levels after three years of growth, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) reported in its latest opium survey for Southeast Asia.
This report analyses data collected in Myanmar during the third growing season since the military takeover. Showing a moderate decrease of 4 per cent from 47,100 to 45,200 hectares and a similar decrease in yield per hectare, the findings point to an initial stabilization of cultivation at the current high levels, cementing Myanmar's status as the world's leading source of opium.
However, the uneven distribution of the decrease, with some parts of the country showing significant increases, as well as uncertainties regarding the impact of the continued drug ban in Afghanistan on global demand for opium and heroin, suggest that Myanmar's opium economy is at a crossroads.
