[ddj] Mapping illegal crops in the borderlands of Belarus, Poland and Ukraine

Sat Sep 27 09:34:30 UTC 2014

Hello list members,

I am wondering if there's anyone from Poland and Ukraine on this list 
who might help with the data on illegal cannabis and poppy crops.

Here is the data I collected from the Belarusian police for the last 4 
years: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10574235/odata/samosad.html.

Red squares mean poppy crops, green is cannabis. The interesting thing 
is that poppy crops tend to be found (and destroyed) closer to the 
Western border of Belarus, i.e. closer to Poland.

Have you seen any data from the Polish police on that? Same question 
goes for the Southern border and to the Ukranian colleagues: is there 
any data available?

Thanks,
Alexey Medvetsky.
