Roco Posted August 8, 2007 CID Share Posted August 8, 2007 , I really don't want to appear as an old cynic BUT, "Afghanistan is the world's largest producer of opium" , so OK they turn to subsidised wheat crops etc., and the price of opium rockets due to the shortage , farmers grow the best cash crop they can , and if you were living in relative poverty then which you grow ?, Just my view , but wherever there is a willing buyer , there will be a grower , that applies to all businesses , including Microsoft etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
