Methamphetamine supply in Afghanistan and neighbouring countries is rising

Seizures inside and outside Afghanistan point to a sharp increase in methamphetamine manufacture in Afghanistan in the last few years. An analysis of significant individual drug seizures shows that an increasing amount of methamphetamine seized in neighbouring countries reportedly originated in Afghanistan. This suggests that Afghan traffickers may be capturing an increasing share of the methamphetamine market in the country and region.
