Résumé :
As a result of a reduction in production, the amount of opiates being trafficking out of Afghanistan has declined in recent years and it appears that less heroin is being processed in the country.
Opiate prices are at recent historic peaks, making drug trafficking very profitable.
Methamphetamine supply appears to be largely unaffected by the ban.
Opiate stocks in Afghanistan at the end of 2022 are estimated to have totaled 13,200 tons, which could be sufficient to meet the demand for Afghan opiates until 2027.
The majority of stored opium in Afghanistan was thought to be held by large traders and exporters; the minority of farmers who stockpile could have held about a quarter of stocks at the start of the ban.
Total stockpiles of opium just before the drop in cultivation in 2023 could have been worth between US$4.6 to US$5.9 billion, possibly mitigating the economic challenges faced by Afghanistan since the return of the DFA [De-facto Authorities]. [Extracts from the key points]
