联合国说,阿富汗今年的鸦片产量将创新高。

联合国毒品及犯罪问题办公室发表的新报告说,阿富汗今年的鸦片产量将比去年提高17%,达到6400吨左右。

报告说,阿富汗今年用于种植鸦片的耕地面积增加了7%,达到22万4千公顷左右。

分析人士说,阿富汗的鸦片产量占世界非法鸦片总产量的80%以上,非法鸦片交易的利润为塔利班叛乱活动提供了资金。

自美军2001年进入阿富汗以来,美国为遏制鸦片交易花费了78亿美元。

The United Nations says opium production in Afghanistan will hit a new high this year.

A new report by the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime says the country's opium harvest jumped 17 percent from last year to about 6,400 tons.

The report says total land area used for the production of opium expanded in Afghanistan by 7 percent this year to around 224,000 hectares.

Analysts say Afghanistan produces more than 80 percent of the world's illicit opium, and profits from the illegal trade help fund the Taliban insurgency.

The U.S. has spent $7.8 billion fighting the drug trade in Afghanistan since invading in 2001.
