<p>Defra does not hold any official statistics on the acreage of land under cultivation
for the legal production of opium poppies in the UK. This information is collected
under the category “crops for aromatic or medicinal use". This category includes
plants such as poppies, lavender, chamomile, and plants or parts of plants used for
pharmaceutical purposes, perfume manufacture or other aromatic products. As a consequence
we are not able to distinguish the area of opium poppies from the other crops that
fall into that category.</p><p> </p>
