RABAT, June 18 (Xinhua) -- A total of 1.18 tons of cannabis have been seized in northern Morocco's Tetouan city, local media reported on Monday.
The Moroccan daily Le Matin said the banned substance was seized by the Moroccan navy aboard two boats.
Despite efforts to crack down on cannabis farming in the last decade, Morocco remains the world's largest cannabis resin harvester.
According to the 2016 report by the UN's Office on Drugs and Crime, Morocco ranks first among 129 cannabis-producing countries throughout the period from 2009 to 2014, followed by Afghanistan, Lebanon, India and Pakistan.
