Opium manufacturing and trade in the Dutch East Indies was one of the monopolies exclusively held by the Dutch East India Company. Opium trade became important already in the 17th century. The trade in opium was concentrated in Jakarta (then Batavia). Manufacturing and trade through the East Indies and the East India Company had major influences on the Opium Wars. Opium abuse also became a problem in Indonesia. Since 1904 opium was produced and distributed (sold) under government control (called opiumregie in Dutch) to reduce the abuse.
