Opiumernte in Rekordhöhe

November 13, 2013 - Afghan opium cultivation has reached a record level, with more than 200,000 hectares planted with the poppy – 36% higher than in 2012. The expansion of the harvest comes amid uncertainty over the withdrawal of most foreign troops and the presidential election next year.
