- With economic collapse in Afghanistan, the country’s drug trade appears to be booming.
Afghanistan has long been linked with the production of opium and heroin and is also now a major producer of crystal meth.
The Taliban say farmers cannot be banned from producing drugs for now because there are no alternative sources of income for poor families.
Clive Myrie presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Secunder Kermani and cameraman Malik Mudassir.

Wasn’t Afghanistan already the biggest supplier of heroin when it was still being occupied by the US?
yep, heroin production reached record levels when the west got hold of the dirty old trade.
Afghanistan has always been the heroin production capital of the world, since way way before the West had to go there.
No one can govern the entire of Afghanistan, it's such a sparse mountainous region that anyone living outside of cities is essentially living lawlessly and is unaffected by whoever is in charge.
Yes and where did this video say otherwise. What they said it is now booming, as in getting bigger and Meth labs are something relatively new.
Yes...whether US occupation or Taliban occupation..... it's the same !
when America rule afghanistan for 20 years, most heroin supply of the world is came from afghanistan, when taliban role just 6 month..all people were shocked that afghanistan was the major supplier of heroin in the world.
America：Because I can
Afghans are forced into drug trade by the global community...
America is the major supplier of drugs in the world.
They are forced to be drug trader bcz the whole world don't want to make relationship with taliban government and not release their funds for living hood
BBC 👎👎👎👎
It’s really cool how they saved this till it was the locals controlling the drug trade and not when it was the US military propping up the poppy fields. Very convenient timing.
Nailed it- all of this was going on when we occupied the country and we let it. Wonder how many got rich off of it.
Did you not seen the news during the last 15 years?
lot of delusional people in this comment section, locals have no responsibility
When the US was running the same business in Afghanistan, nobody reported it. Now this 😂😂😂
When America does it , it's OK, but if someone else does it it's a huge crime 😁
@@ibrahimdafalla6695 it is always crime. But why islamic government is allowing this. Isn't it against the teaching of Islam ..
@@Sachin-lm6ls it is, but those in power seem to disregard that , nowadays they care about money more than Islamic values...!
This has been happening for 20 years. In 2007, 93% of the non-pharmaceutical-grade opiates on the world market originated in Afghanistan. By 2019 Afghanistan still produced about 84% of the world market.
The question is why now? Did the US tell the media not to report this when they ruled Afghanistan?
Last time got money when selling. Now ? They take themselves. It a dream come true.
It's not possible for Afghanis to survive without international aid.If the world won't help,maybe it should shut the eff up.

One investigative reporter went into Afghanistan to investigate the drugs trade and one thing he found was the fresh footprints of the cia everywhere
The drug trade in Afghanistan has always been booming. I think the BBC are reporting as if this is a recent problem as if the locals used to grow wheat and barley.
they want to sell the idea that America need go bcak into Afghanistan
It's called propaganda.
The American drug market is the largest market for opiods, it all flows through Mexico
They should call it sharia drugs
It goes against the narrative so now it's the enemy, is could be deeply rooted or surface problem I think the us prolly got a cut from Afghanistan and the source was this but I have no knowledge of any kind to back that up so don't take it serious I'm just bored
It’s funny how the journalist hasn’t mention the USA and many others role in this issue. Good job BBC!!!

Patrolling and Protecting
Drug trade in Afghanistan has always been ticking along even when the superpowering foes were there. Most times no one says a word.
Exactly
I'm Australian and worked with a young engineer who had served in Afghanistan in the mid 2000s.
When this subject came up he simply told me that ALL foreign forces were told NOT to burn poppy crops as it would cause too much economic hardship.
*This isn't a Taliban thing.* This was going on long before the Taliban took control the first time. It continued under the occupation and this is just a continuation. This is what happens to a poor country when the world treats it like crap and offers NOTHING.
th-cam.com/video/LChO4ySx61U/w-d-xo.html
The US spent billions of dollars to try to get rid of it. It’s always been an issue due to corruption and the Taliban
@@tonywilson4713 lol yes that's right. Us soldiers and other westerners were guarding those fields. With poor farmers who had to take care of those fields.
What they are failing to tell you is, while we had control of the poppy fields, we had a booming drug trade. Where you think all the meth and oxy was coming from?
Thank you, the reports of opioid crisis were rubbish. how did we get , blah blah blah . It's simple math war is a rich man's gain; war profiteers & politicians wanted to make as much money off the war.
Meth doesn't come from Afghanistan or poppy plants. OXY comes from pharmaceutical companies and mostly Korean suppliers.
Maybe we should fix this. Let's guard the fields for another 20 years. Perfect
"Under" the Taliban? The production had already skyrocket under the military occupation. After the invasion and military occupation Afghanistan started to produce more than before.
It skyrocketed when the Taliban took over too.
Well no one said it didn't exist before, it's they just said it's booming right now under the Taliban.
@@Nimori lies
Yes, it's a great spin to make it sound like the Taliban restarted something that the US stopped instead of the truth, which is that we took full advantage of it.
@@Booooom258 Booming for the small individual sellers, that now seems to be free to sell openly without having to pay "tax" to the government. From this point of view it's better now, if it's for the country to continue being a large producer, than that it be one without exploring so much the people who do most of the work.
I think we already arrived at a point in our society where we can easily see and distinguish hypocrisy. The drug trade was always an issue there... its not new and its not a Taliban new issue.
narco state
Afg makes over 60% of the worlds opiumproduction and over 90% of the opiumproduction in Afg is made up by Kuchis/Pashtuns (the people that make up over 90% of the taliban). The rest of nonpashtuns make up either 2-0.01% of the opiumproction each.
The kuchis are cancer on afg and they should be either cast back to india or completely cleansed from afg ground.
Its bbc brother. They have to do some propaganda.
Yes it is a Taliban issue , these hypocrites go around with their higher than though bs morality but when push comes to shove they'll sell the worst narcotics to make a dime. Also they are the main culprits afghanistan is unstable the last 40 years , so saying its poverty fault instead of their is wrong since they are the biggest driver in poverty.
@@wv9529 wow you’re a history genius
As this was something new! .. Afghanistan was #1 World Opium Supplier long before time even for America. SouthEastAsia was #2. When raw materials became too expensive to be affordable. The US invaded just to take their supplies.
Wow I didn’t know opium wars had a part 2. This time it has different characters too
Where was media when America flourishing and booming this industry?
They reported that too actually.
Dear @@TheBooban Show me the link when BBC made a report or a statement regarding US allies responsibility in drug trade.
If you can that would be appreciated.
those farms were under guard by american soldiers and the farming and trade was promoted by the americans, which resulted in lots of people become addicts
true, BBC did not report when America was doing it.
This is fake news. In fact, it is PRC China who make huge investment of drug making in the name of "one road one belt".
Rural Afghans have been using it for centuries before the US, British Rule etc.
@@goldengold8568 farming opium was banned under taliban ruling before the Americans set foot on Afghanistan.. right now Taliban is cleaning up the streets from the addicts, sending them to rehabilitation centres that they've set up to deal with the problem.
@@roni2977 Taliban cleaning the streets from addicts. I’ll bet they are. and sending addicts to rehab to boot. What bleeding hearts the Taliban are🤣🤣🤣
This is what happens when america comes to your country and gives you "freedom"
@CommonSense were they refining it into white powder? using it to keep their economy running? people using even Chrystal meth on the street?
The Taliban really cares for the people. They can't just ban the trade without giving them an alternative. I like that
they don't care about the common people, before coming into power they made money from kidnapping, extortion and taxing the opium trade....they also shut down high schools for girls recently
This has always been known even when Afghanistan had a 'legitimate government' (a.k.a. one the West was okay with). To only bring it up now seems very biased.
Truth.
The topic was brought even before as well...so no problem with now. Both US occupation and Taliban ain't any better

@@RY-xz4so I am not defending the Taliban, I'm just someone who's upset with (Western) mainstream media so clearly pushing a narrative/an agenda.
The pharmaceutical industry had a boom in opiates while society had an opioid epidemic in the past ten years or so. While we were in Afghanistan. But you're not ready for that conversation.
🎙 💯
Im plenty ready. You lot do realize opiates had to be sourced from somewhere? Climate and location of major poppy fields? Capitalism?
That’s like saying children don’t mind cobalt we use everyday. Not like Americans used slaves to pick cotton to make clothes. COME ON.
@Hans Otto Kroeger Kaethler um drugs is how the finance taliban operations. That’s not even a mystery it’s open and widely accepted fact. Like wtf. Opium can grow in more than one place
Pharmaceutical poppies are grown in Tasmania, not Afghanistan. Sounds like you may not be ready for that conversation, lol.
@@brianholloway6205 who sp you thinks buys there opium lol
Interestingly this is exactly what ISAF claimed when Afghanistan was producing 97% of the world's Opium. So I'm wondering how they have ramped up production under the taliban. I think this is just new to the BBC or they thought we have forgotten that this has been a thing for 20 years?
maybe the taliban made it legal ?
@@shockwaverc1369 I'm just speculating that most of the evidence points to ISAF being complicite or complacent in the drug trade. When I was there in 2009-10 our Combat outpost was right beside a poppyfeild and mostly it was used to take glamour shots to send home, but never was it destroyed or any suggestion of replacing it with a food source.
@@shockwaverc1369 no the taliban actually banned drugs because it's haram and made rehab centers. But the people are so addicted and don't have alternatives yet. This is the damage done by the US still felt. This BBC now dares make it seem like Talibans fault.
No you mean the trade changed hands, last i checked those poppy fields were being secured for the last two decades by whom??
Whilst under US occupation Afghanistan was the largest manufacturer, and supplier of opioids on the planet.
They were even before USA got in there….
@@fliprodriguez5250 absolutely true. el fuego stupidly thinks the US is worse than the Taliban, but the fact is that people are starving more than ever this winter.

For most of the late 20th C. the far east ('the Golden Triangle') was the largest supplier of illicit opium (morphine/heroin) to the global market, having *completely coincidentally* boomed there during and after the US invasion of Vietnam. A similar, *also completely coincidental,* boom has been seen in Afghanistan after the US (and UK) invasion and occupation of the region. It had actually been a major producer in the decades after WWII, taking over from Turkey, but this dwindled after the 1979 invasion by the Soviet Union, effectively shut down by both the Soviets and the resisting Mujahideen.
Oh stop it this is old news Afghanistan been in the drug business for over 40-50 years
I was thinking the same thing.
We are in winter, the BBC cannot wait even a growing season for this. These crops were planted with the US and the UK in the country, only now that the taliban rule the country this is a problem.
People, including the media, have been complaining opium production in Afghanistan for literally more than two decades. Have you been under a rock?
Alot of it was "legal" sanctioned/governed by the government being siphoned onto the black market.
Now there's minimal oversight and it's most likely all going to the black market, the Taliban couldn't couldn't stop it even though they want to because people will starve and probably doesn't care if it's sold to dealers instead of big pharma.....Enjoy the cheap heroine for the next while
exactly my mind.
coalition forces tried hard to control opium cultivation. but couldn't. the challenge was lack of control over the countryside.
> These crops were planted with the US and the UK in the country
man.
This drug trade is *BLOOMING*
It’s like an recovering alcoholic owning a liquor store. To sell liquor to future alcoholics. There’s a guy in Morrison Colorado that does exactly that. It’s the utmost hypocrisy.

All that money was spent on developing the opium trade with US military on the ground to protect the investment. BBC wasn’t interested when the CIA were controlling the opium trade but now they’re crying about it because the Afghan people are working the fields for themselves. Fuck the BBC.

Just more BBC lies and propaganda. We all know what the CIA was doing in Afghanistan, we all know who controls the global drugs trade, the BBC seems compliant with the CIA, could that have something to do with the enormous bribes we also know the BBC is guilty of accepting from the CIA? The BBC = Accepted enormous bribes from the CIA, to change their own Index on the Russian Federation in 2002.
Udo Ulfkotte was the German who wrote the book exposing the BBC's corruption. In it, he explains the part he played with the CIA, he explains how the bribe was paid, where it was paid, and when it was paid. He shows us the BBC index on Russia, the weekend before the bribe was paid, and he then shows us the BBC index on Russia, a day after the bribe was paid.
The change is so dramatic!, Russia goes from a "new country, a country that's good for Britain, a future very important trading partner of the UK". To a ''corrupted country, led by a corrupt, anti-Western president''. It states how Russia is trying to recreate the former USSR. It explains the transfer of Crimea to the Russian Federation with outright in your face lies, and they're lies that actually go against the BBC's own account of the transfer of Crimea to the Russian Federation. Udo Ulfkotte, proves it, and he proves it with undeniable proof.
The book is banned in the UK today. Udo Ulfkotte, later died in "mysterious circumstances". This is today's reality, and this is the new world, we all now, live in. Well done BBC.

true but the Taliban keep branding themselves as holy warriors that were against opium but it turns out that everyone needs cash so they also turn a blind eye
As long as there is demand for drugs in the western countries there will always be poorer countries happy to fulfill that demand.

Pakistan wont allow that to happen. pakistan is responsible for all of Afghanistans problems
Actually Afghanistan has always had places of good agriculture. Its always had valleys where crops were productive.
Afghanistan's problem is simple - its been the punching bag of superpowers since the 1980s.

The Taliban don't want that. They just want control and money.
CIA in 2001: nice poppy fields you got there
The US and UK bought it from them the past 20 year’s now you mad??? Make it make sense
Here in the United States, we have a huge drug problem too. But it’s being sold by rich white men in suits.

West destroyed them with bombs , now they are retaliated with CRYSTAL. Good to know ☺️
@Tabula Rasa I’m talking about the Industrial Pharmaceutical Corporations in the U.S. which brought the opioid crisis in America. Thugs and war chiefs didn’t push the drugs, CEOs did
I call BS; The production rocketed during the occupation. Or at least it was reported more.
If I lived in that hell hole, I would be on opioids 24-7 until I Overdosed and died.
say that to your soldiers who guarded them during the years when sale was at its peak
This entire situation is extremely horrifying! I have nothing to say I’m just lost and I feel awful that this is reality.
The Brits & Yanks got there orders filled no need to guard the field anymore.
So you think bbc is telling you reality about their enemies?
@@DespaceMan and now space garbage! The crabby adult age groups are preoccupied with bio thrills and gagets time and so discontent the air water dependant abundant predictable life cycle thing is o, just to boring and miserable all the time wah, wah , wah. Plus it's only maybe a century . And what a mess. Yet here we are. So how on earth do we do our part to leave a planet fit for living things now?

Afghanistan: Breaking Bad Edition
It's not just about the people are getting addiction to this drugs but I feel more sorry for the soils which you can not growing anything for couple of years after 😑
This is an interesting topic .. before the war sorry the conflict of Iraq it was stable, their was virtually no crime, poppy plants were illegal to grow and overall aside from a "dictator" it was stable.. the moment the conflict happend private contracts were given out for oil, reconstruction of cities and poppy plants were almost immediately grown again ( heroine/ morphine) is pretty lucrative ... But another interesting thing our military went in there so outdated that when it was "done" it came back evolved by like 50 years.. I remeber in highschool they had to change the acronym from "OIL" to "OIF" to
I just want to remind everyone of the opium trade that was dominated by the British in the 19th century.
Ya
Don't make the mistake of thinking that opium and meth exports could make a dent in Afghanistan's food deficit. The numbers just aren't there.
Good comment
They will go straight to hell these hypocrites
Can you elaborate? How big are Afghanistan's food deficits?
True, exporting opium and meth won't make a dent in their food deficit, especially when nobody will sell food to them anyway, but maybe if they grew less drugs and grew more food, they'd have more food. That guy reckons any onions he grows aren't worth much, but how much will they be worth when they're the only food left in the country? Also, where are all those addicts getting the money from to buy their drugs? O.o
Lmao if they are hungry they should produce foods not drugs.
