Poppy harvest: Afghan farmers harvest raw opium from a poppy field in Kandaharâs Zhari district, Afghanistan. This year, many Afghan poppy farmers are expecting a windfall as they get ready to harvest opium from a new variety of poppy seeds said to boost yield of the resin that produces heroin. The plants grow bigger, faster, use less water than those from seeds theyâve used before and provide up to double the amount of opium, they say. (AP/Allauddin Khan) (AP/Allauddin Khan)
