Opium production in Myanmar surges to nine-year high - BBC News

- The production of opium increased sharply in Myanmar, rising by a third last year, according to the United Nations.
It touched nearly 795 metric tonnes in 2022, nearly double the production in 2021 - 423 metric tonnes - the year of the military coup.
The UN believes this is driven by economic hardship and insecurity, along with higher global prices for the opium resin that is used to make heroin.
The coup plunged much of Myanmar into a continuing civil war.

I visited Myanmar in 2010. It is a beautiful, wonderful country. It breaks my heart to see what is happening there.
Peace & prosperity for Myanmar!
Like I said, Myanmar is an absolutely beautiful nation full of honest friendly and helpful people. Unfortunately, Myanmar people have been suffering way too long through no fault of their own.
For honest truth about Myanmar, pls read the insightful informative, multi-pages comments by "A. Grace" at,
"Inside the people’s resistance in Myanmar"/BBC News: ruclips.net/video/bPhkRaFni14/видео.html
Anglo Clans of USA, UK & Australia, etc are using next-door neighbor Thailand, which has a defense treaty with them, as a base camp since in the 1950s; from which attack against China/PRC was launched by sending Chinese Nationalist/Taiwanese Kuomintang forces into nearby Burma's eastern border closed to China in the '50s and '60s.
In the '60s and '70s, using Thailand as a base camp, attack against nearby Laos & Cambodia were launched during the Indochina war where several million innocent civilians were killed.
Like Anglo British introduced opium to China a century earlier, USA-led Anglo clans introduced opium/opium growing as a form of self-support to those Chinese Nationalist (Taiwanese Kuomintang) forces in Shan State of Burma in the '50s and '60s.
So that's how Burma became an opium producer.
'Anglo caused most of the world's problems.' - David Cameron, former British Prime Minister
In my humble opinion, Burma/Myanmar would have been much better off without Colonialism.
For instance, there's hardly any Muslim, Hindu or Christian in Myanmar up until Anglo British Colonialism.
I suppose it's fair to say that many of these tragedies of Myanmar facing today, such as racial ethnic and religious conflicts, started with Colonialism.
Do you know Burma used to be a major oil producer for British Empire up until the Middle-East oil boom in 1930? Burmah Oil Company was one of a handful of oil giants in those days.
"Anglo caused most of the world's problems" - David Cameron, former British Prime Minister
Let me rephrase it, if I may; "Anglo caused most of the world's problems, including a heck of a hell lot in Burma/Myanmar".
- first under the long and painful Anglo British Colonial era;
- secondly, boycotted and blacklisted by Anglo West, as an impoverished nation turned to Socialism for relief after Colonialism.
Myanmar has a sad saying that goes "A poor young girl got raped and got hurt twice", referring to their nation's double tragedies. 😔
Speaking of ethnic and religious tragedies Burma/Myanmar facing today, the fact that the world's longest Civil War which is in Myanmar, mainly between Buddhist Burmese and Christian Karen (while Buddhist Karen are largely at peace) was made it possible, prolonged and supported by Anglo Clans of USA, UK & Australia, etc while they are using next-door neighbor Thailand (which has a defense treaty with them) as a base camp since in the 1950.
In my humble opinion, ethnic Karen refugees fleeing the conflict/war in Myanmar are entitled to cross over to Thailand to stay, as well as eligibility to relocate to new places such as USA, Australia.

@@rottenrobbie8466 You said, "Burma would have been much better off without Anglo British Colonialism.

Colonialism & Colonization are evil things done and benefited by evildoers.
- For instance, here in Singapore, a tiny island with 6 million souls lives like sardines in a can, where else in nearby vast bountiful Australia which is ten thousand times 10,000 bigger with a mere 27 million inhabitants.
- A similar situation in tiny and packed Japan, which is running out of space and land. Do you know that their living room and bedroom are the same place, and that most Japanese people sleep in their living room. 😔
- Here's the one solution. Why don't Burma's Muslim, Hindu & Christian population, if they wish, move to place like Anglo Colonized vast bountiful Australia/New Zealand in Asia-Pacific region?
After all, these are Asia-Pacific lands looted from Native Asians-Pacific people. 😔
Poppy opium isn't as potent as most synthetics but still extremely addictive
Still very relaxing.
But it's used to make heroin. That's what is done with almost all of this opium.
Another reason is because in Afghanistan, the Taliban cracked down on poppy / opium growing. About a 95% reduction
East India Company: “What’s up China?”
Niqqa you alive
Send some to North America! All we have is fentanyl analogues!
You can rely on the BBC for their feel-good news items!
We don't have any time for Western media
Under the military junta? You don't say...
I take it
Why BBC not made documentary on genocide of Blacks & Asian by Britishers.
With the introduction of very cheap to buy fentanyl why would one need heroine?
Opium is in heroine? So somebody said, “Hey let’s take this opium and make it STRONGER and MORE ADDICTIVE!”
If you had to pack it on your camel and walk it across the silk road you'd want it to be in the most compact format possible. Also, if you break your leg do you want to smoke pipe after pipe of opium or inhale a little dust and be good for surgery? However, yes, drug = bad and make strong uh..er = bad, too.
Fun fact: Her,oin was originally marketed to CURE opium addiction..!! 🤣🤣🤣

Ok to be exact: "In the 1890s, the compound marketed by Bayer to supposedly treat morphine addiction was heroin."
You guys introduced opium there
Very bad Myanmar government,leaders

Dear BBC - We like Modi to the extent needed. So please don't make us dislike England to the extent needed
Other countries produce Opium, an essential raw material in modern medicine. Yes the Junta that runs Myanmar are deplorable, but the west has bled the country dry of its wealth for centuries, including America's own Herbert Hoover. Now it is impoverished, and should be able to sell its produce on the open market. Banning them from the pharma market will just encourage the black market.
It's the medical monopoly, ' If it's not our way, it's no way'.
what a fitting name.

@@austingode You don't say.
@@austingode Excellent. Would you sell me some please? I really want to find out what it feels like.
@maryhinge128 its a painkiller so it shuts of the pain signals between brain and body it makes you feel a lil numb and in small doses almost a little drunk it also has penis hardening substances in it so it gets your penis hard but abuse will cause sexual dysfunction and it can cause menstrual problems for women
All has been badly damaged by military Coup. We all bitterly hate military coup and soldiers. We want democracy, we want freedom. Like Ukrainian, help and kindly support us weapons to against the military coup. Anyway we never give up fighting for our freedom. ✊✊💪💪💪
As a Ukrainian, I support this message.
My friend is Karen, I knew nothing of the civil war before I met her; but the people of Myanmar have been fighting the bravest war for decades, it’s crazy how few of us westerners know about it.
I will send you some if you can send me some H , I’m in Australia 🇦🇺.
A NINE YEAR HIGH??????????????? WHERE CAN I GET SOME?????????????? The crap I have hardly keeps me up for the evening!!!!!!!!!!
Ban BBC in India. Not targeting Modiji .Main target is India. Not digesting how India prospering whereas maximum countries facing economic crisis. BBC sh make a documentary about the cruelty did by Britishers in India.
The British Raj was a cruel and oppressive regime responsible for the deaths of an estimated 35 million Indians.👎
Opium is also used for prescription pain killers. Right now there is a shortage of them. The focus of this piece is illicit drugs.
9 whole years?
WOW
Sir aapse request hai please ek documentary Britishers pe banayiye in robbers ka real face sabko pata chalna chahiye please do it soon.
guess middle east and places like Afghanistan have competition on global market share
Yay. Cheaper prices and less fentanyl.
No they aren't sending heroin to America just other parts of the world maybe a little bit in America but the global agenda is to poison the USA with fentynal and cut off our supply of heroin as much as possible
Afghanistan stopped being the No.1 producer. The West needs someone else to supply it
It seems as if the problem is of production, but not of consumption. People are buying this stuff, and thus making a choice. What about that ?
When graphed on a supply/demand curve, addiction, even for materiels as common as cigarettes, has nearly infinite inelasticity. As prices increase for cigarettes, people will continue to buy at the same rate. This is even less flexible for Heroine and opiates.
Basic economics shows that its less of a choice, and more of an exploitation on the part of sellers.
Jumbo ears
Those ears are amazing😉
When demand arises , consequently delivery wud be arises , only pls review recent reports on consuming Drugs and Alcohol around the world , you can get some ideas why opium producing gets higher than before,
It's just a plant it just grow like that but If you happened to set it in fire there are some affects
For Putin to produce Copium?
Russians will flood European streets with smack to recuperate the stolen money and to wage war a hybrid war expect a rise in the dope fiend population in these economically difficult times
For Zelensky to produce copium
Better than fent they should legalize all natural plants so we can use them like the bible says.
stop calling it that silly name, its Burma, always has been always will be, stop peddling the juntas ideology , poor burmese
Bangladesh has become a hell because of the yaba tablets produced in Myanmar.
Shameful SAC and connections !!!!!
Nine year high :)
On Next season on Ozark
I think why you ban from china because you did not talk about ireland genocide by uk( british)
because the west could not grow it in Afghanistan anymore, that is why!
Herion the government, military? Both? Or the resistance? I'm sure resistance rarely gets media coverage and the answer is pretty obvious..
A 9 year high?
Wow!
Thats a long ass time to be high
How much is it?
How did we go from heroin to amphetamines?
Methamphetamines are synthetic and can be manufactured without natural plants, whereas her,oin needs opium poppies to start with..
Heroin needs to be farmed and takes time to grow, meth all you need is a lab and money to buy supplies
Burma borders China which shares borders with Russia which in turn borders Europe which is now facing economic hardship nothing numbs the pain like heroin
Her,oin is a d,irty dr,ug
Europe should buy their poppy crops then, to be able to control the consequences of having bled Myanmar dry of its resources over two centuries.

I always thought the large drugs confiscated in Indian border states of Manipur, Nagaland, Mizoram came from afg > pak > myanmar > india. But this explains a lot. 🤔
Both places however the Taliban might actually outlaw heroin production, now it's only on the 📚.

Blessed by the military regime in charge, just growing richer.
Over all is loss cant see one way only

The only reason it's profitable is because of the war on drugs. And after 80+ years of prohibition on these drugs, the problem is worse than ever! Nice job, DEA!
