El \u00e1rea de cultivos de amapola erradicados en M\u00e9xico el a\u00f1o pasado super\u00f3 al de la marihuana en un 40 por ciento, seg\u00fan cifras oficiales, lo que indica cambios en la producci\u00f3n de drogas y los patrones del tr\u00e1fico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Informes de la Secretar\u00eda de la Defensa<\/a> de M\u00e9xico muestran que en 2007, el \u00e1rea de marihuana destruida fue cerca del 50 por ciento mayor que la de la amapola \u2013 22.965 hect\u00e1reas en comparaci\u00f3n a 11.393 hect\u00e1reas. La brecha empez\u00f3 a cerrarse entre los a\u00f1os 2008 y 2010, y para 2011, la erradicaci\u00f3n de amapola hab\u00eda superado la de los cultivos de marihuana, con 16.301 hect\u00e1reas de amapola destruidas en comparaci\u00f3n con 13.262 de marihuana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Este cambio fue m\u00e1s dram\u00e1tico en 2012, con 8.670 hect\u00e1reas de marihuana y 14.347 hect\u00e1reas de amapola destruidas, haciendo la destrucci\u00f3n de cultivos de amapola un 40 por ciento mayor que el de la marihuana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Una tendencia similar se refleja en las cifras de la Secretar\u00eda para la incautaci\u00f3n de kilos de marihuana y hero\u00edna durante este per\u00edodo de tiempo, con incautaciones de marihuana disminuyendo de 2.068 toneladas en 2007 a 1.145 toneladas en 2012 y las incautaciones de hero\u00edna pasando de 124 kilos en 2007 a 3.716 kilos en 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n M\u00e9xico abastece siete por ciento de la hero\u00edna del mundo, con la mayor\u00eda yendo a Estados Unidos, seg\u00fan estimaciones de 2013 del Departamento de Estado de Estados Unidos<\/a>. Como inform\u00f3 anteriormente InSight Crime<\/a>, las cifras gubernamentales con respecto a la producci\u00f3n de hero\u00edna en M\u00e9xico no coinciden, por lo que es dif\u00edcil sacar conclusiones definitivas acerca de estas tendencias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No obstante, los informes de 2011 que los carteles mexicanos tienen enlaces con distribuidores de hero\u00edna en numerosas ciudades de Estados Unidos<\/a>, indican que la droga puede haberse esparcido como una fuente de ingresos. La marihuana, por su parte, podr\u00eda constituir tan s\u00f3lo el 15 por ciento de los ingresos de los carteles, seg\u00fan algunas estimaciones<\/a>, y esto podr\u00eda disminuir a medida que avanza la legalizaci\u00f3n de la marihuana en algunas partes de Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" El \u00e1rea de cultivos de amapola erradicados en M\u00e9xico el
