Tanzania's Dickson Zakaria Mroki, a custom officer in charge of the anti-drugs unit, holds poppy flowers as a Myanmar officer walks passed in an opium field outside Low Soi, a village in the Shan state in northeastern Myanmar close to the border with China February 26. Myanmar authorities took delegates of the 4th International Heroin Conference to one of the few opium growing areas which has escaped the government's anti-drug campaign. Myanmar, a major world producer of opium, predicted that stepped-up government suppression of poppy growing in remote areas and bad weather would cut output of the drug sharply this year. ??»
