Why would their opium fields have 'dried up'?

I read this book “Methland», about the use of the drug in the deindustrialized Midwest. A lot of the people who used it did it to be able to work long shifts (they had to work a lot, because the hourly wages were so low). That may be the case for North Korea as well. If you have to toil long hours in the field without proper nourishment then meth will of course look like a good deal. 

Good point - America is as bad as North Korea for the working class.
