Supply chains for iilicit products: Case study of the global opiate production networks

In 2014, approximately 0.4% of the global adult population used illicit opiates (e.g. opium, heroin). Ninety five percent of these drugs were supplied by three global supply chains: the Afghanistan network, the Golden Triangle network, and the Mexico-Columbia network. The supply from these networks...
