The Golden Crescent is the name given to one of Asia’s two principal areas of illicit opium production, (with the other being the Golden Triangle), located at the crossroads of Central, South, and Western Asia. This space overlaps three nations, Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan, whose mountainous peripheries define the crescent, though only Afghanistan and Pakistan produce opium, with Iran being a consumer and transhipment route for the smuggled opiates. n addition to opiates, Afghanistan is also the world’s largest producer of hashish.
