Tightening 🇵🇾 Paraguay

Paraguay uproots a record 1,468 hectares of cannabis in a year

It was the highest figure of a decade in which 15,045 hectares were destroyed, nearly two thirds of them in Amambay. The plantations were estimated at 6,000 to 8,000 hectares, with two to four harvests a year and a crop that could approach 30,000 tonnes; 77% went to Brazil and 20% to Argentina. Paraguay seized more than 1,000 tonnes a year, more than any other country.[1]
