Data
not available.
1Although
there is no solid information on Iranian opium production, the
U.S. Government estimates that Iran potentially may produce
between 35 and 75 metric tons of opium gum annually.
2There was
no information for 1992 production. For 1994, a vigorous eradication
campaign reduced potential production to insignificant levels.
