Résumé :
This paper analyses how drug production in Afghanistan has evolved under the current Taliban drug ban, with a particular focus on heroin and methamphetamine. Using satellite imagery, economic data, and other indicators, it documents shifts in the trade and processing of key substances like ephedra, ephedrine, methamphetamine, opium, morphine and heroin. The report provides insights about how enforcement has varied over time, the effects of rising opium prices, the dynamics of smuggling products under the regime, and, the limitations of existing data. It calls for broader and more nuanced methods to better understand and respond to changes in global drug markets. [Editor's abstract]
