A license is required for opium cultivation District Agriculture Officer Rajit Ram said that the license issued by the Narcotics Department for opium cultivation stipulates a specific time and a specific quantity of production. A farmer has to produce so much. However, if the crop is affected by theft, animal damage, or diseases and pests, production is reduced. In such a situation, the farmer is unable to store the entire produce. This directly affects his license, and the department may even revoke the license. This fear forces the farmers to take careful care of the crop from time to time.

Dangers associated with growing black gold Opium is called black gold because of its international value in millions and crores. This makes it very difficult to protect this crop. According to farmers, thieves, pickpockets and miscreants often stalk the opium fields. Whenever they get a chance, they steal opium. Opium theft is a major problem for farmers. Because of this, farmers risk their lives to protect the crops. However, when the crop is ready, they make huge profits.

Opium is more valuable than gold and silver. Opium farmers said that opium is widely cultivated in their area. They call it black gold because it is more valuable than gold and silver. Opium is used in a variety of medicines, and some of it is also used as a narcotic.

Farmers also reported that the opium plant is not only valuable in its raw form, but its stalks, seeds and pods also fetch high prices. That is why this crop needs to be protected from thieves and miscreants more than animals. It is in great demand not only in the country but also abroad.
