The fall in opium production in Afghanistan this year should be followed by the delivery of promised aid, the UN drugs office said Monday, calling for more better targeted anti-drugs messages.
The drop of one fifth in the area under cultivation between 2007 and 2008 was due to farmers deciding not to plant the crop rather than government attempts to eradicate opium, a UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) representative said.
