Find it hard to believe there are years of H stored away. Even in the producing countries. I'd presume there is so much demand that the ' product' is on the move always.
Don't see Burma taking over Afghans role . Be years in the future. They didn't even make #3 H in the past. Maybe different now.
Guessing though.
Well it's the case - the EMCDDA discovered that the average age of the H on the streets if Europe was seven years in a 2021 study. So either it TAKES seven years just to reach Europe or it was stored. I admit, I didn't look into the methodology in detail but there are a number of methods to find the age of plant matter. Their are also documentary films that detail how H gets from Afghanistan to Europe and at every stage people seek to maintain the price and so will hold material to ensure that the value doesn't collapse.
I don't think anyone will disagree that under the invasion, it was one bumper crop after another and the Kg price WAS dropping, Their is certainly EMCDDA data showing increased purity and lowering of bulk price year on year.
It's always been seen as a long-term business. A LOT of planning ahead goes into it.
