Answer:

Mexico is the world's largest producer of opium with poppy cultivation.

Explanation: Myanmar was the third largest producer, providing 5.3% of global supply. Mexico’s increased opium production was driven by an expansion of the area of land on which illegal poppy crops are grown, the UNODC said. According to the report, opium poppy cultivation increased by 21% in 2017 to 30,600 hectares.
