3.1. Production: Opium/heroin 3.1.3. Lao PDR For the first time in many years, it can be assumed that Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) is no longer an important producer of opium or a supplier of illegal opiates to the world market. Since the government's decision to eradicate opium poppy cultivation, the area cultivated has experienced a steady decline. Area under opium poppy cultivation declines significantly The total area under opium poppy cultivation for the 2005 season was estimated at 1,800 ha, a decrease of 73 per cent compared to the previous year. The number of households engaged in opium poppy cultivation decreased from 22,800 in 2004 to 6,200 in 2005, representing 2 per cent of the total households in the north of the country. (Northern Laos). Estimated opium production drops by 67 per cent, compared to 2004 The average national opium yield for 2005 was estimated at 8 kg/ha, which results in an estimate of 14 mt production of opium for the year 2005. This is a 67 per cent reduction compared to 2004. Opium prices increase by 139 per cent, reflecting the scarcity of opium The average farm gate price of opium was US$ 521, which represents an increase of 139 per cent compared to the price of the previous year. This huge increase reflects the scarcity of opium produced during this season due to the reduction of opium poppy cultivation. Opium production associated with poverty The average annual cash income of opium producing households was estimated at US$ 139 (1,457,000 Lao kip-LAK), while the average annual cash income of a non-opium producing household was US$ 231 (2,418,000 LAK). This discrepancy indicates that opium production is linked to poverty, as opium producing households are often characterized by lower productivity due to addiction of one or several of their members. Average addiction rate is 1 percent, higher among men than among women Opium addiction is a phenomenon affecting mainly men. In 2005, the average drug addiction rate (in 10 northern provinces) was 1 per cent among the population aged 15 years and above. Opium addiction is more widespread among men than among women (1.5 per cent men vs. 0.6 per cent women in the sample). As a general trend, addiction is declining in the country. Eradication The Government of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic reported the eradication of 2575 ha of opium poppy during the 2004-2005 growing season. 227
