In Indonesia, a large portion of the
methamphetamine is manufactured and consumed
domestically. The methamphetamine markets in
Australia and New Zealand are largely supplied by
domestic manufacture, although some import has
also been detected.
The level of methamphetamine use is of concern
in some of the Pacific Islands, countries without
the resources to manage the problem. Some Pacific
islands are also used to trans-ship precursors
and finished products. Seizures of precursors
and attempted diversion of pharmaceuticals
have been reported by authorities in Fiji, French
Polynesia, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Samoa
and Tonga. Several islands, including Fiji, French
Polynesia, Guam, Samoa and Tonga, reported
methamphetamine seizures in 2009 and 2010.
Methamphetamine production has also been
detected in the Pacific since 2004, when a lab was
discovered in Fiji. Smaller-scale operations have been
seized in Guam and in French Polynesia, and there
are indications that manufacture may be spreading to
other islands.
