Afghanistan has been the world’s largest opium producer for years. The Taliban announced that they wanted to put an end to this, but there are doubts about this.
More than 100,000 Afghans are believed to be drug addicts. Since the Taliban took power in 2021, the trend has been rising. But in addition to consumption, production is a problem, because the country earns money by exporting drugs. With the imminent end of cultivation, Afghanistan would lose one of the largest sources of income.
