Regarding efforts to eradicate cannabis cultivation, a number of countries were reported to be studying cannabis cultivation and its socio economic impact and assessing the feasibility of implementing alternative development programmes to tackle illicit cannabis cultivation.

22. Indoor cannabis cultivation is on the increase.

b. After cultivation insert in their respective territories

In Shinwar district, opium cultivation was almost unchanged.

(ii) Water and soil conservation and environmental protection (rationalisation of water use, farm mechanisation, cultivation techniques, forestry, dry cultivation and anti desertification measures)

The area under cultivation is estimated at 50,000 hectares.

Rapid cultivation assessments in February 2005, however, indicated a general decrease in cultivation, apparently linked to lower opium prices and non planting in some regions.

Mr. Bâzel (Afghanistan) stressed that the positive developments in Afghanistan had been achieved thanks to Government efforts combined with the self restraint of cultivators of opium, resulting in the 21 per cent decline in cultivation already mentioned.

quot Baku Accord on Regional Cooperation against Illicit Cultivation, Production,

Statistical information concerns illicit crop cultivation, drug production and seizures.

The decline in cultivation is important and encouraging and was a result of the compliance of Afghanistan's farmers with the Government's anti cultivation messages or eradication policy.

Cultivation of poppy for household purposes is a tradition in the region and the ban on illicit poppy cultivation is generally not strictly enforced, although certain States have reported eradication measures, especially Hungary, which has experienced an increase in illicit cultivation in recent years.

It was noted that alternative development would be appropriate if there was a clear threat of overflow of cultivation from other major areas affected by illicit crop cultivation.

Since the first reporting period, the States affected by illicit cultivation of coca bush and opium poppy have adopted national plans to reduce and eventually eliminate such cultivation.

The promotion of film free cotton cultivation technology has great prospects.

Good progress has also been made in eliminating coca bush cultivation.

(e) Illicit cultivation, production and manufacture of drugs in the region.

46. Views were expressed that technical assistance in monitoring illicit cultivation should be provided at the request of Governments to enable them to monitor illicit cultivation in their countries.

A joint project with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime to replace opium cultivation with the cultivation and processing of bamboo should prove highly beneficial to his country.

As for specific project target districts, there was a drop in opium cultivation in Ghorak district of Qandahar, but an increase in cultivation in the districts of Kakhrez and Majwand.

Illicit cultivation continues to be intricately related to poverty in rural areas.

With record production of an estimated 4,200 tons of opium in Afghanistan, UNODC's 2004 opium cultivation survey registered a 64 per cent increase in the area under cultivation in that country.

Self Measurement and Self Manipulation

Other areas of critical concern include the cultivation of and trade in narcotics.

The Special Rapporteur welcomes the steady and remarkable reduction in opium poppy cultivation.

During 1995, UNDCP continued to monitor illicit cultivation of opium poppy in Afghanistan.
