Afghanistan’s Opium Fields Shrink, But Drug Trafficking Rises | WION

According to a new report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), opium poppy cultivation in Afghanistan has dropped by 20% in 2025, continuing the sharp decline since the Taliban’s nationwide ban in 2022. However, the report highlights a growing regional trafficking problem and a sharp rise in synthetic drug production, especially methamphetamine. With many Afghan farmers struggling amid drought, limited income, and the return of millions of refugees, the UNODC warns that economic hardship could push communities back into illicit cultivation. #afghan #opium #unodc #wion About Channel: WION The World is One News examines global issues with in-depth analysis.
