Two reports give different totals for 2005:
| Report | 2005 eradication | Provinces |
|---|---|---|
| International Narcotics Control Strategy Report 2006 (1 March 2006) | "more than 7,000 hectares" | "primarily in Larache and Taounate Provinces" |
| UNODC and the Moroccan government, Enquête sur le cannabis au Maroc 2005 (January 2007, p. 25) | "15 160 ha" | "dont 12 000 ha sur la province de Larache, 3 000 ha sur la province de Taounate et 150 ha sur la province de Chefchaouen" |
The UNODC survey states that the eradication figures were supplied by the Moroccan government and that UNODC took no part in carrying out or checking eradication. This news item follows the 2006 report.
