The Sources of Drug Problems in Mekong River Subregions

At present,the one fourth of the total trade volume of 4000 hundred million is from the countries distributed in Mekong River subregions.These countries made a great contribution to meet the demands of drug-addicts from all over the world. Of them, Myanmar and Laos are the main areas of opium poppy planting and processing. Accordingly, the annual output of Herion from Mekong River subregions in no less than 250 tons, and the output of original opium is no less than 2500 tons. In fact,the drug problem in such areas depends not only on the economic system, but the connection with the local politics, economy,society and so on.
