  Based on the article, the situation is considerably more complex than a tradition of poppy cultivation.
  It appears that the current major poppy growing area is not the same as the traditional growing areas, and that the growth in the poppy industry is more tied to official policy (and profit) of the Afghanistan government than it is to tradition.
