Discussion
Category
The article reports cultivation over several years, not a single raid or destruction. The burning of fields in 2023 comes from one official's statement with no date or area, so the item sits under Report and not Eradication. The article calls the crop "hemp" in one sentence and "cannabis" elsewhere. It describes dried leaves and buds selling at up to 800,000 kyats a viss.
Quantities
The acreages are residents' estimates: "at least five acres" in each village and "more than 30 acres" across six neighbouring villages. They are not stored: the area field holds land where the crop was destroyed. The article gives no area for the fields burned in 2023.
Place
The article names Ayadaw Township and "its border with Myinmu" but no villages or district. The district field gives Monywa District, which holds Ayadaw Township.
