- Opium Production: Afghanistan is one of the world's largest producers of opium, and the Taliban controls much of the opium poppy cultivation in the country. The group taxes farmers and traffickers, generating substantial income from the opium trade.
- Heroin Production: Opium is processed into heroin, which is then trafficked globally. The Taliban oversees and protects the production and smuggling routes, taking a cut of the profits.
- Synthetic Drugs: In addition to traditional narcotics, the Taliban has increasingly been involved in the production and trafficking of synthetic drugs, such as methamphetamine. These drugs are cheaper to produce and can be made in smaller, less detectable labs.
- Revenue Use: The funds raised from narcotics trafficking are used to finance the Taliban's operations, including purchasing weapons, funding militant activities, and paying fighters. This revenue stream is crucial for maintaining their insurgency and governance structures.
- International Impact: The Taliban's involvement in drug trafficking contributes to the global drug trade, affecting public health and security worldwide. Efforts to curb their influence in narcotics are part of broader international counter-narcotics strategies.
