A massive campaign is trying to eradicate poppy cultivation
Poppy cultivation in Afghanistan is expected to soar by 59% this year, providing 92% of the world's supply of opium, the United Nations says.
The UN Office on Drugs and Crime predicted a 6,100-tonne harvest of opium, with much of the rise coming in Taleban strongholds in the south.
The US is the main backer of a huge drive to rid Afghanistan of opium.
But a top US drugs official warned on Saturday Afghanistan could be "taken down by this whole drug problem".
