I am myself a opium farmer, it is hard to get the licence first, second there are farmers who are ready to pay lakhs to get a license for a fraction of land i.e 5000-10000 sq metre. So you cannot grow in more than 10000sq meter area, which will fetch you 12kg of opium, that is also mandatory for you to submit to government at 2-5k per kg rate. We are importing poppy from turkey and other countries when we have good capacity here in India to produce a good amount of opium. But there is a lot of bureaucracy and politics that comes into picture in this farming.

Yeah it's a good business but with a lot of problems I'm from rajasthan and the major Plantation of opium takes place near my hometown and have seen in last few years government has cancelled the licsense of almost all people in this area even if the place has the most suitable environment for plantation and I have seen from people that before plantation government calculated the amount of plantation it produce and after you have to give it to government and if it is a little less in amount they will cancel licsense and it's licsense process is very complicated and have to hire guards for monitoring plantation because of thiefs

The regulatory hurdles, ethical concerns, and potential misuse might overshadow the potential benefits but all the best to whoever charsi wants to do this.

I live in Rajasthan and there are opium leases in the village near me and as far as I know, the government does not give new leases to anyone, it only gives them to those whose previous leases have been cut due to some reason. So applying for a new opium lease is a joke.

Opium cultivation is highly regulated and controversial, ek nasha mukti kendra bhi kholna side mein please.

It taps into a growing market and leverages India’s pharmaceutical prowess noice.

The opium industry is heavily controlled due to its potential misuse. Getting approval to grow and sell opium in India would be incredibly challenging and could invite scrutiny from various agencies, you’d be dealing with a lot of red tape and possibly unwanted attention from both the government and international organizations.

Even if you get through the licensing and regulations, you’d still face competition from established players in Afghanistan and other countries. Building a reputation and supply chain could be tough.

Have to deal with government and local mafias and well if anyone wants to know why they can simply watch "Guns and gulaab" series

The market potential is there, but so are the challenges. The geopolitical tensions and legal hurdles could be a major obstacle. Is it worth diving into such a tightly controlled industry?

Seriously? Entering the opium market is fraught with legal and ethical challenges. Even if the idea sounds lucrative, navigating the complex regulatory environment and societal implications might be more trouble than it’s worth
