Abstract
This chapter examines the rise and fall of a large opium farming syndicate organized by the Saigon/Cochinchina opium farmer, Banhap and colleagues in Singapore and Hong Kong. It details the attempt by the Banhap syndicate to construct a virtual monopoly of the opium traffic in Southeast Asia, the China coast and the Pacific rim. The chapter shows the ease with which Chinese opium farmers moved from locally-based enterprises to global cartels in the mid-nineteenth century.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
