After 1984-85, the Burmese government capitulates to the drug lords and Khun Sa forms a powerful new opium army—a combination that leads to a surge in the country's opium production from 550 tons in 1981 to 2,500 in 1989.
Burma's opium production remains constant, changing from 2,528 tons in 1989 to 2,575 in 1993.
In the Golden Triangle overall, opium production drops slightly from 2,956 tons in 1989 to 2,797 tons in 1993.
