سونهري ٽڪنڊو يا "گولڊن ٽرائنگل" (Golden Triangle) اتر اوڀر ميانمار، اتر ٿائيلينڊ ۽ اتر لاوس ۾ لڳ ڀگ 2,00,000 چورس ڪلوميٽر (77,000 چورس ميل) جو هڪ وڏو جبل وارو علائقو آهي،[1] جيڪا رواڪ ۽ ميڪونگ ندين جي سنگم تي مرڪوز آهي. [2] [3] "گولڊن ٽرائنگل" جو نالو مارشل گرين، آمريڪي اسٽيٽ ڊپارٽمينٽ جي هڪ آفيسر، سال 1971ع ۾ آفيم جي واپار تي هڪ پريس ڪانفرنس ۾ رکيو هو.[4] [5] اڄ درياءَ جي سنگم جو ٿائي پاسو، "سوپ رواڪ"، هائوس آف آفيم ميوزيم، آفيم جو هال ۽ گولڊن ٽرائنگل پارڪ سان سياحن جي ڪشش جو مرڪز بڻجي چڪو آهي ۽ هاڻي هتان آفيم جي پوک ڪوبه ناهي.[6]

The Golden Triangle has been one of the largest opium-producing areas of the world since the 1950s. Most of the world's heroin came from the Golden Triangle until the early 21st century when opium production in Afghanistan increased.[7] Myanmar was the world's second-largest source of opium after Afghanistan up to 2022, producing some 25% of the world's opium, forming part of the Golden Triangle. While opium poppy cultivation in Myanmar had declined year-on-year since 2015, the cultivation area increased by 33% totalling 40,100 ha ([convert: unknown unit]) alongside an 88% increase in yield potential to 790 t (780 long tons; 870 short tons) in 2022 according to the latest data from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) Myanmar Opium Survey 2022.[8] The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime has also warned that opium production in Myanmar may rise again if the economic crunch brought on by COVID-19 and the country's 2021 Myanmar coup d'état persists, with significant public health and security consequences for much of Asia.[9]

In 2023, Myanmar became the world's largest producer of opium after an estimated 1,080 t (1,060 long tons; 1,190 short tons) of the drug was produced, according to a United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime report,[10] while a crackdown by the Taliban reduced opium production by approximately 95% to 330 t (320 long tons; 360 short tons) in Afghanistan for the same year.[11]
