UPI reported that 1984 cannabis cultivation in the Bekaa was a quarter of 1983, when about 80% of arable land at the northern end of the valley was used for cannabis. Export traffic was estimated at 2,000 tonnes a year, and growers were switching to opium and sunflower because of transport and smuggling problems.[1]
Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Lebanon here.
