The wodd s largest sulfur iaveatories are stiH ia Canada. By the end of 1994, after significant vattiag, stocks iacreased by approximately 2.2 x 10 to 7.8 X 10 t. The United States, which had 4.2 million metric tons of sulfur inventories in 1982, reduced sulfur inventories to the lowest levels in a decade during 1992, a record year for phosphate fertilizer exports. This changed during 1993—1994, when phosphate fertilizer production eased and sulfur stocks increased to 1.1 million metric tons. Sulfur inventories in Poland and West Asia have also declined slightly (33).

It, she had said, not "Farben." "Farben" was four years of old-fashioned convictions mat had led to failure. Even to many people who saw some of the facts as we saw them, Farben was only "the German question." To us, as to only a few others, it was a world question. Though Farben had been the industrial czar of Germany for half a century, its empire included more than 880 firms throughout Europe, Africa, North and South America, east and west Asia. I had good reason to know that Farben was the Machiavellian planner for all institutions in the world that had allied themselves with military aggression.

The production of cannabis resin (also known as hashish) is concentrated in North Africa (Morocco) and in the South-West Asia/Middle East region, particularly in Afghanistan and Pakistan. UNODC surveys conducted in collaboration with the Moroccan authorities revealed a fall in the area of cannabis resin cultivation in that country in recent years, from a peak of 134,000 ha in 2003 to 76,400 ha in 2005. Resin production declined even more strongly, from 3,070 mt in 2003 to 1,070 mt by 2005. Most of this production is consumed in Europe. 

In 2005, the majority of opiate seizures (67%) took place in the countries surrounding Afghanistan. When seizures made in Europe are added these seizures combined accounted for 87 per cent of the global total. The remaining seizures were made in East and South-East Asia and Oceania (10%), with the Americas accounting for 4 per and Africa 0.2 per cent. Africa s opiate supplies are increasingly arriving from South-West Asia.3... 

Opiate seizures increased in South-West Asia in 2005 (up 22%), but declined in East and South-East Asia (down 12%), reflecting the decreasing production in Myanmar and Lao PDR. The strong increase in seizures in South-West Asia also helped stabilize the European market, where opiate seizures declined by 10 per cent.
