JPN highly values AFG’s continued counter-narcotics (CN) efforts, which have achieved a remarkable reduction in poppy cultivation since 2022. CN requires sustained efforts, both to reduce poppy cultivation and to support alternative livelihoods for former poppy farmers.

Estimated opium cultivation in Afghanistan increased from around 10,000 hectares in 2025 to more than 43,000 hectares in 2026, but still well below pre-ban levels.

16 out of 34 provinces recorded opium poppy cultivation, five more than in 2025.

Check out UNODC’s new report to learn what is driving the growth, and how it can be addressed.
