Memorandum on the cultivation and exportation of opium in Persia.
Opium is cultivated principally in Yezd and Ispahan, and partly
in the districts of Khorasan, Kerman, Fare and Shushter.
The opium grown in Yezd is considered to be better than that in
Ispahan and elsewhere, owing to the climate and soil of that place
being better adapted for the growth of the drug. But the district or
Yezd, notwithstanding the existence of a large cultivable area, is not
capable of any considerable extension of the cultivation of opium,
owing to the insufficiency of the means, both natural and artificial#
of irrigation.
