Reply to Dear Candace's Post: not exactly precise enough. the implication from the date of the article is that the harvest must take place in august.as the article appears in early september, bit of a guess though. you probably just googled & picked up the most recent thread. never mind.

Hello Alex,

This link is a pdf document published by the Afhanistan Governments Counter Narcotics Directorate. I believe it answers every possible question you could have about the Opium Harvest.

Page 9 specifically displays the harvesting times by region. The later pages gives textual details of the information summarised in Page 9.

www.unodc.org/pdf/publications/rapid_assessment_afghan_2003.pdf

It seems to say that most harvesting takes place in the Afghani Spring.

With kind regards,

Duncan
