The price increase has been paid to sellers to reduce poppy crops and the loss of opium manufacture.

Since 2022, since the Taliban movement has introduced the ban on drug production, opium prices in Afghanistan have increased ten times. This is reported on the UN website.

The UN Drugs and Crime Office (UNP UN) records that last year a kilogram of Opium worth $ 750 in Afghanistan – compared to just $ 75 three years ago.

“The increase in prices has been paid to sellers to reduce poppy crops and the loss of opium production quantities,” the report said.

Since 2021, the volume of heroin and opium exceptions has reduced by almost 50%. The reduction in the production of these drugs in Afghanistan has led to a reduction in the illegal transfer of opiates to the world as a whole.

Opium is the main active ingredient of natural origin, used in heroin production, a stronger synthetic drug. The three major sources of illegal opium origin in the world are Afghanistan, Colombia and Myanmar.

According to UN estimates, opiates in Afghanistan by the end of 2022 cost 13,200 tons, which is sufficient to potential enjoy the general demand for Afghan opiates in the world until 2027.

Remember that last year in Bulgaria, customs officials discovered about half a ton of heroin, which has been the largest removal of a group of regional history drugs.
