In 1992 more than 2 million cannabis plants were uprooted.

This year we have already uprooted more than 2.1 million cannabis plants.

Hard fibres such as sisal, jute, coir and abaca may be mentioned as examples in this regard.

The livelihood component includes learning processes concerning skills development involving existing alternative sources of income such as abaca fibre production, handicraft making and cash crop production.

By 1992, the real export prices of coffee and cocoa had fallen 69 per cent from the beginning of the 1980s, palm oil by 49 per cent, and sisal and cotton by 47 per cent.
