Myanmar Opium Farmland on Rise 17%
Farmland under opium cultivation in Myanmar rose by 17 percent this year, to 51,000 hectares (126,000 acres) from nearly 40,000 hectares (100,000 acres) in 2011 says the report released Wednesday by the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime.
The upsurge comes despite a government campaign to eradicate the crop from the Southeast Asian nation, which has won praise worldwide for taking major steps toward democratic reform after the long-ruling military junta ceded power last year.
