"The report, 'Afghanistan Opium
Survey 2015', by Afghanistan Ministry of
CounterNarcotics and
United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)
put opium production
in 2015 at
3,300 tons,
a drop of 48% from
the 2014 level of
6,400 tons.
But 3,300 tons is still enough
to feed a substantial
number of opiate addicts
across the globe.
The report estimates that about
180 tons of export quality heroin
was potentially sent out
of Afghanistan
in 2015."
