Published 7 years, 3 months ago
Description
Mexico has become the United States’ leading supplier of heroin, and this increase in local production may also lead to increased availability in Mexico. Currently, Mexico is the world’s third-largest producer of heroin, with more than 28 000 hectares (close to 70 000 acres) of land believed to be used for opium cultivation, potentially producing 499 tons of heroin per year
