                    Replacing Poppies with Coffee in Myanmar

   by Daniel De Carteret

   The remote mountains of Myanmar's Shan state are home to the
   second-largest opium-producing region in the world. After a drop during
   the 2000s, production surged in the past eight years to feed an
   increasing demand for heroin in China. But farmers are now making less
   on the crop, and the U.N. is hoping many will make the switch to
   growing coffee. Daniel de Carteret reports for VOA from Taunggyi.
