Located at the junction of Eurasia, on the border of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran, it is an opium and heroin production base second only to the Golden Triangle. It is estimated that 60 tons of heroin can be extracted each year from opium collected from clandestine sources in Afghanistan alone. Due to its unique geographical advantages, the drugs produced here can be easily transported to Europe. As a result, the region's share of drugs in Europe once reached more than 90 per cent. There are three main routes for the export of narcotics in the region: First, they flow from Pakistan and India in the south to Japan and the United States, second, they flow to Europe through the Persian Gulf region, and third, they flow to Eastern Europe and Russia through Uzbekistan and other countries in Central Asia. Another significant advantage of the region's drugs is that the heroin produced here is extremely pure, almost reaching more than 80%, which is also unmatched by the Golden Triangle.

In 1984, in Pakistan, the head of government, Zia-ulak, issued martial law, which led to an iron hand, opium production plummeted from 800 tons in 1978 to 45 tons. However, after 1985, the government's "civilian politics" and lax anti-drug measures resulted in opium production soaring to 145 tons in 1986 alone. In the years that followed, this momentum only increased, and by 1996 Pakistan had produced more than 200 tons of opium and 1,038 hectares of opium poppy cultivation.

Opium products in Laos were not included in the "budget" of the US Drug Enforcement Administration, but since 1986, Laos has had to impress the world, because the opium production in Laos was close to 120 tons that year.

As a result, on the ancient Islamic plank road and in the vast desert, caravans of drug trafficking are endless. These caravans brought a steady stream of opium and heroin into Eurasia.

In recent years, the drug trend has been almost an all-round attack. These narcotics soldiers are divided into three routes: one is from the south through Pakistan and India, to Japan and North America; the second is to flow from the west to Western Europe through Iran and other coastal countries and Turkey; Third, it flows from the north to Russia and Eastern Europe through Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and other Central Asian countries.

Nestled in the mountains on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan, the small town of Randy Gotu is almost the starting point for the flow of drugs to the world.

Heroin, which was exported to Britain and Western Europe, once occupied about 90% of the market, and as a result, it has become a veritable "crescent" that is on the rise.

What is even more worth mentioning is that almost all of the heroin produced by "" is more than 80 percent pure, and such a genuine "famous brand" can naturally catch up in the competition of the world drug trade.

", the "new generation" of the world's drug source.

Located in the triangle where Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran meet, the region has a border that spans more than 3,000 kilometers and is known as "" because of its crescent-like shape and its abundance of opium. The region includes the provinces of Sistan in Iran, Balochistan and North-West Frontier Provinces in Pakistan, and the border provinces of Afghanistan. It is sparsely populated, has a dry climate, is inaccessible, and is in a state of semi-isolation from the world.

As a result of natural disasters and years of war, "after the 80s, it developed into a new drug-producing area, which has 60,000 hectares of opium cultivation, of which 30,000 hectares are cultivated in Iran, 20,000 hectares in Afghanistan, and Pakistan is the least, but it also reaches more than 5,000 hectares. In the mid-80s, the opium production of "" was about 800 tons, and since then, due to the continuous bumper production, the opium production in the region has risen sharply, and the annual output has increased sharply to 1,360 tons in 1987, and the annual output of opium in the region is about 2,500 tons in 1988.

Until the 80s, opium had been the ultimate product of regional drug exports due to the backwardness of refining technology, and since then, as the demand for heroin has skyrocketed in the Western drug market, opium growers and traffickers have realized that it is more profitable to sell heroin directly. As a result, a large number of refining workshops have appeared in this area, from raw materials to processing in one place, eliminating the inconvenience and loss of long-distance trafficking. "Although it was a latecomer to the international heroin market, it was a blockbuster, and because of the heroin it produced, which was more than 80 percent pure, it quickly sold well in the Western drug market.

Currently, about 60 per cent of heroin consumed in the United States comes from "", while 80 per cent of heroin in the European drug market also comes from "" regions.
