Prospects for opiate smuggling from Afghanistan
Abstract
Opium poppy cultivation in Afghanistan in 2022 increased by 32% compared to the previous year and amounted to 233,000 hectares. After the announcement of the ban on cultivation in April 2022, opium prices rose sharply. The income earned by Afghan peasants from the sale of opium has tripled from US$ 425 million in 2021 to US$1.4 billion in 2022.References
