阿富汗罂粟大丰收
阿富汗的鸦片生产力较去年增长了17%。在过去三年里，阿富汗的罂粟产业一直“蒸蒸日上”，今年的罂粟产量更是超过去年，再创历史新高。联合国预计阿富汗能生产出6400吨的鸦片，相比1999年塔利班统治时期的最高产量4565吨，竟多了40%。
17 percent: Increase in Afghanistan’s opium-production potential since 2013. This year, Afghanistan broke its previous record for poppy production—which it set only last year. The country’s poppy industry has grown in each of the past three years; the UN now estimates that the country can produce 6,400 tons worth of opium, a production surge of 40 percent since its Taliban-era peak of 4,565 tons in 1999.
