The inference at first had been that illicit shipments would cease. Doubts
were soon dispelled however. The very first shipment made by Amin was the 515
cases by the Toyo Maru J^o. 6 in December.
It remains to be seen whether the latest policy of the Government, while
actuated purely with the idea of obtaining more revenue and more exchange, will not
in practice lead to a considerable reduction in the opium crop. On the one hand
the price in the country has fallen so low that a shrinkage in the area put under poppy
cultivation in 1931 seems inevitable, while on the other hand it is stated that
Anatolian opium can apparently be prepared in a manner suitable for the Far
East markets at approximately £100 per case c. i. f. a price with which Persian
opium as at present taxed could not hope to compete. Should this indeed prove the
case, limitation of the Turkish supply would appear the only factor to prevent
Persian opium from losing its present market, at least as regards the legitimate
.trade.
