Eradication of Opium Cultivation

Eradication of opium cultivation involves efforts to eliminate the illegal planting of opium poppies, which are used to produce narcotic drugs. This process can include manual removal of poppy fields, chemical destruction of crops, and promoting alternative livelihoods for farmers. The goal is to reduce the supply of opium, thereby limiting drug production and trafficking. These measures are often part of broader drug control strategies, aiming to weaken drug networks, improve public health, and enhance security, while balancing social and economic impacts on local communities.
