Estimates: 61,000 acres of opium grown in Mexico

(23 Jun 2016) Mexico and the United Nations have carried out a new study that estimates the opium poppy was planted in about 61,000 acres (24,800 hectares) in 2015. The study is the first of its kind in Mexico, so authorities can't compare the results with past years to determine whether opium growing has expanded. The head of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime in Mexico says a second part of the study will try to estimate what the crop yield is in Mexico. Antonio Mazzitelli said production is concentrated in nine states along Mexico's Pacific coast, including Guerrero, Sinaloa and Nayarit.
