Quote from the CIA:
Illicit drugs: world's largest illicit opium producer, surpassing Burma
(potential production in 1999 - 1,670 metric tons;cultivation in 1999 -
51,500 hectares, a 23% increase over 1998); a major source of hashish;
increasing number of heroin-processing laboratories being set up in the
country; major political factions in the country profit from drug trade.
