40 Seiten, This February 2008 assessment broadly anticipates what can be expected when the opium poppy seedlings bloom in Afghanistan this spring. Field visits and interviews with village leaders indicate that cultivation levels will be broadly similar to, perhaps slightly lower than, last year¿s record harvest. But the total amount of opium being harvested remains shockingly high. Contents: general findings; number of villages growing opium poppy; cash advances received for opium poppy cultivation; families involved in opium cultivation; agricultural assistance; field security; eradication; prices; cannabis cultivation; other findings; findings by province; and methodology.
