It is not surprising that there are still fields of poppies in Afghanistan, particularly in Helmand and Kandahar, as this lucrative business is worth about USD 500 million per year to opium farmers and about USD 3.5 billion to the smuggling and refining business.
Ei ole üllatav, et Afganistanis on ikka veel moonivälju, iseäranis Helmandis ja Kandaharis, sest see tulus äri toob oopiumifarmeritele aastas sisse umbes 500 miljonit USA dollarit ja kaubitsemise ja rafineerimisega tegelejatele umbes 3,5 miljardit USA dollarit.
