In this April 17, 2014, an Afghan farmer works on a poppy field collecting the green bulbs swollen with raw opium, the main ingredient in heroin, in the Khogyani district of Jalalabad, east of Kabul, Afghanistan. A joint survey by the Afghan government and the United Nation shows that the opium production in Afghanistan has increased by 87 percent in 2017, compared with 2016 levels.
