Dramatic Reduction in Opium Poppy Production in Afghanistan

The production of opium poppies in Afghanistan has witnessed a staggering decline since the imposition of a drug ban by the de facto authorities last year, according to the newly released Afghanistan Opium Survey 2023 by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). The data reveals that opium supply has plummeted by an estimated 95 percent, dropping from 6,200 tons in 2022 to 333 tons in 2023. This decline corresponds to a sharp reduction in the area under opium cultivation, shrinking from 233,000 hectares to just 10,800 hectares over the same period.
