📅 5 November 2023 📍 Afghanistan

UNODC’s 2023 survey found that opium poppy cultivation had fallen 95 percent from 2022, following the Taliban’s April 2022 ban. The rapid change reduced a major source of rural earnings and disrupted illicit markets. UN reporting emphasized that affected farmers needed sustainable livelihoods; the fall in cultivation did not itself resolve the social or economic conditions underlying drug production.
