They destroyed large amounts of fertilizer under the claim that it can be used for bomb making where as they could have just given it to local farmers to use in cultivation of other crops.
Nato troops tried to stop it and caused farmers to lose income. Taliban encouraged it for revenue. Now taliban are stopping and ensuring farmers lose all income
As an Indian, I am so happy. Great going my Afghan brothers. Yes, poor farmers would face temporary hardships but in the long run it will be good for them.
yes but according to the drug addicted west, there is no other solution but to grow heroin. As if before the country was destabilized, these farmers weren't growing other things. Change is painful and you cannot make change without sacrifice. The Aghan people survived a decades of bombing and war. I'm sure they will get by without selling drugs to the world. America is very hypocritical, their jails are filled to the brim with people who sold the same plants that were grown by these farmers that they are showing "sympathy" for. But in their sympathy they could not stop bombing the fields of other crops the country had for 20 years. hypocrites.
The indian journalist are lazy people. They just parrot what the western media reports. We all know who controls the mainstream. Anyway God is great. Finally with the help of Russia, the evil forces fled like scared dogs out of Afghanistan. Looks so much better today. So happy for the people of Afghanistan
Because it's true! They claim to be religious yet sell opium and live off the degenerates' money. Either convert to Islam or death! That's Shariah law!
so where taliban getting their money? Industries none, fishery and agriculture none, exporting skilled workers ZERO possibility,...... They want the islamic utopia, yet incapable of even the basic sustenance. Opium?
do not leasing to the world media there is 100 percent peace naw in the history of afghanistan this is the first time peace and control every wear in all afghanistan if you not believe go visit
@florreal4891 please hold your breath until that happens😊...majority of us Afghans support Taliban and our Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan government now
It’s a disaster for the world. Addicts still want heroin-now the supply is bulked out with fentanyl and other synthetic opiods. Literally millions will die as a direct consequence of these actions
Absolutely wonderful. This is how it's done when governments are actually serious about drug control. The Taliban are doing the whole world a favor and should be commended for it. I'm just beyond happy to see them put an end to this evil crop.
@@greattobeadub Nope, that was the US. The CIA would sell the poppy in the form of opium drugs and use the funds to supply the war and other illegal shit.
They fight against drugs because of the paternalistic love they have for their people, wish governments did this too to save their people, so many mother lose their sons and daughters because of the drugs 😢
For the first time I see the Taliban doing something I can respect. I don't think the BBC understand that this is were part of our drug problems comes from.
You were in coma or total ignorant. They were doing this since 2001, Thats the reason US invaded Afghanistan because they didn't have supply to feed their addicts in the US

So basically the story is about the drug problem and they still manage to talk about women's rights, what do women's rights have to do with drug problems? The spokesperson answered brilliantly by saying that one should not make the connection between the humanitarian questions and the political questions.
As if women had rights during the America invasion - they'll never talk about the girl who was raped by American soldiers and bled to death from vaginal bleeding, or the rampant rape, exploitation and trafficking of women under the alliance government that US military admitted to overlooking, or the countless innocent women and girls they decimated in airstrikes. And these are just the instances that were documented
Taliban leaders say their issues aren't about women, yet the Western world primarily focuses on this topic when they come there. There are no roads, no proper schools and universities, and so forth. Address these foundational issues first, and then advocate for women's education.
Why does it need to be two separate issues? Why can't women have rights while dealing with all the other issues? It would seem the women issue is a really easy one to fix. Just let women have rights. Done. Sorted. The problem is religious zealots and misogyny.
@@liverman9000 You can argue if the woman have rights in the western world, when they are not allowed to have niqab or only hijab on or different cloth in sports, they have to be almost naked, I think the problem is that the western problem focus on those issues to make people like you and people living in europe to think Taliban is crazy and backwards.

Kudos to Afghanistan! The ones who have suffered the most from drugs will always appreciate this action of yours. And the ones who just want to profit and have done harm to humanity will criticize it.
Well now that heroin is going to be scarce in europe, fentanyl and other ultra-potent synthetic opioids that are easy to synthesize at home are about to flood the continent. If you thought drug addicts are suffering now, you’ve seen nothing yet.
Hey you need something when your doctor cuts off your Oxy....Why you think it's up 92%... America's Aggressive Drug use fuels the Drug cartels .. if someone cared you would have a border that was protected. .. Not wide open. .
The taliban did the same thing back in the 90s. They enforced harsh consequences against growing poppies for opium and under their rule opium production went to 0%. They completely eliminated it. But they did not get the credit they deserved because of their religious views and because they wanted to rebuild Afghanistan on their own terms aligned with their social views and cultural context rather than on western ideas that clashed with their culture. They were also supported by most of the common people in Afghanistan who just wanted stability. Remember the Taliban are not Al-Qaeda (Bin Laden's group) but they got entangled with Al-Qaeda when bin Laden fled to Afghanistan.
Yeah cuz they´re putting addicts in prisons forcing them to rehab resulting in some of them dying. Also look at the size and population of the USA and little Afghanistan. Try to think things further out before spreading non-sense.
it seems odd, i do think it was more concern for the people (very poor as it is) who just lost 90% of their income, but a cinnical mind could read it either way
Because we actively sponsored the growing of heroine poppies in Afghanistan during the occupation… They wanted Afghanistan to have drugs, gay sex and feminism. The people of Afghanistan did not…
90% of money earned from illegal activities that they have become addicted to the lifestyle it supports, but which they should have never undertook in the first place.

@@xa-12musk8 Get lost you devil. I saw how you guys ran away like scared dogs the moment Taliban asked for Russia’s help. Taliban is awesome. What is not is your evil regime. Get lost
The negative tone is implying that the Taliban hasn’t provided a sensible alternative for farmers who need to pay loans and other bills. Destroying the entire crop, without compensation, is like a 100% tax rate.
@@ShaneyElderberry why don’t the international community unfreeze Afghan asserts and recognize them so the country can prosper? With this ban millions of not just Afghans but Europeans lives are being saved
@@ShaneyElderberry no the tone suggests that the poppy should left behind for sometimes so that European Countries n especially UK black market doesn’t crush. If the poppy is left n one more person became addicted for life then who is responsible? N before the invasion the poppy growth was zero so that means western countries deliberately allowed this n made billion out of it.
And I guess these people are supposed to buy cloths, tools, medicine etc. with wheat too? Not to mention the fact that they’re living in, you know, a desert, with too little arable land to even feed themselves? Didn’t help that NATO destroyed most of the fertilizer supply in the country either.
Ameen , the people's of Afghanistan are very brave and hospitable but the main problem is peace because from too much longe time Afghanistan face wars,
This initiative needs to be paired w giving the farmers some means to grow a crop that can not only make them money but also supply the country's domestic food needs. Win-win situation
"Could not do" is naivë of you, "didn't want to" is the reality just like this 20 year war against terror that the u.s never wanted to win. Why? Keeping the ISI engaged in this while they thought they were playing a "double game" with the U.S the U.S was ahead of them by keeping the nuclear country destabled and in return forcing pak on keeping pro u.s policies against china and stoping to to gain influence through central Asia(afg) into the middle east.
The last time the taliban destroyed the opium plants we sent in our military. Guess the taliban hasn't learned their lesson and unfortunately we'll probably be back in there.
@Henry G like I care who won or lost dummy. It's just business and the people of afghanistan will suffer. They did this in the early 2000s and we invaded shortly after.
We are used to media doing this to Afghanistan. That's why we support our Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan government when they throw they propagandist media out. Eradicating poppies and they have a problem, grow poppies and they have a problem...our government should ignore foreign interference and do what is right for us. We are not surprised...we are used to media manipulation, mistranslations, cutting what was actually said etc They also demonized our Taliban, who are our pride and heros for years and now the Wesybcantbaccept that us majority of Afghans support Taliban and our Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan government now
I spent more than three and half years working in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2008. One project I worked on was in Nangahar called CRAWLS in 2001. It was funded by US INL, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs. Our job was to offer villagers options to growing poppy which included schools, irrigation systems, clinics, roads and the like. I used to say to the villagers, If I give you an irrigation system, you can't use it to grow poppy in some vague hope they might comply. They didn't of course. It is interesting however, for all that is wrong with the Talibs, they are effective in eliminating the opium production and the west should do whatever it can to support that. One US option that floated around at the time was dropping agent orange up a couple of valleys. The Talibs need proper whipper snippers or tractors with mowers to complete the job on the opium and also the hashish that they grow in rotation..
Also oxycodone, hydrocodone and morphine are derived from the opium plant. The majority of pharmaceutical opium is actually grown in Tasmania. The farmer who grows the most receives a brand new Mercedes. I kid you not
@@RealismAndHonor fun fact. As opium flooded into the illicit market from Afghanistan, it made its way into the legal market. The higher supply decreased the price. Drug companies took the boon and spent more money into advertising pain pills.
We grow a lot of poppy seeds here in Czechia, but its completely legal and all of it is used for traditional food and pastry. Seeing that poppy seeds are still farmed for opium really suprised me
@@phoenixrising8640 Speak for yourself. "Most of us" MINUS the women, AKA 50% of the population who are stripped from basic rights, education and work. Sorry. but you are speaking for yourself. Where I come from I have been in long contact with about 20 Afghans who in fact fled from the same Taliban or just wanted a better life than how it was under Taliban in 1990s era. And they all are in HALF or ZERO support of this Afghanistan. Because they do love their county, but they don't want the 20 years of freedom that Afghanistan was rebuilding, with especially womens rights all across the board, to be reduced to zero
When other countries see the Taliban taking positive action to eradicate poppy production they will receive aid packages & financial assistance to help Afghanistan rebuild the economy & secure a bright future for its citizens.
Supporting Taliban owned country is a political suicide, the farmers families will starve and more junkies will die from synthetics around the world. Big pharma will gain monopoly on morphinan drugs. Heroin used to be the fucked up drug of the poor, now it will be for the rich while the poor will die in even bigger numbers from nitazenes and fentanyl. The chinese synthetic opioid market will flourish from this as well. And its not like people will stop doing drugs no matter what. That's the reality of what this is going to cause.
@@andrewbrown5300 funny if this were true then america and its allies would have bombed the poppy fields but instead they defended it and bombed the civilian population
So many years ago when the US invaded the country, I saw some people make the observation that even though we're supposed to be in this "war on drugs", we didn't bomb a single poppy field. This was because we didn't want to anger the opium warlords of the country. The fact that the Taliban is taking this on really surprises me. I'd think they got a lot of their money from these warlords, after all.
No, our Taliban never got money from these warlords. Taliban first came into being to fight the atrocities of these same warlords who were US & NATO allies on our people. Under the first Emirate Islami poppy production was eradicated completely which was why the US foreign invader terrorists planned the 9/11 false flag attack and invaded Afghanistan. Yes, many of these warlords and other leaders from the US& NATO puppets regime were drug dealers, like Fauwzia Koofi and her family and others. Your US marines and NATO foreign invader terrorists use to guard the poppy fields and they would blame our Taliban for flooding the markets with opium when it was them, along withtheir Afghan allies
I've never seen so many mistakes in one comment. The war on drugs was a domestic US issue in the 80s. America invaded Afghanistan as part of the war on terror, not on drugs. The opium trade provides livelihood to a great number of afghans who have no alternative, so it was considered best to not upset that particular apple cart as it would have made the Americans even more unpopular. The Taliban weren't always against growing poppies, they actually used to encourage it when they first came into power in the mid-90s because it was a source of income for the nation, despite the obvious contradiction with Islamic law
Oh no Helen, we did at the begining we went after the Poppy fields but the farmers would just move. Same thing will happen here you will see. A lot of villages in Afghanistan need the money badly.
Probably they go to individuals fields the ones that didn’t make a connections , talibans probably by now have half of the country growing for them how do u think they will survive.
It sounds harsh but when you think about the greater good it's very effective in eliminating crime on large scale. I'm in Canada and I just saw someone stealing just as if he's buying coffeee. Crime in Canada is crazy.
Not saying he should be allowed to sell that ish, but was a time when reporters protected identities. Yes it would be best if wars stopped and all were able to survive without having to resort to selling drugs.
ALLAH u Akbar that's why we Pakistanis Love Afghan Taliban keep it up ALLAH bless them and gives success to them for this noble cause. Love from Pakistan
The Taliban should be trying to get mining started with Chinese investment. The country needs some agriculture but it isn’t realistic to think they can feed themselves. The soil is poor, the region is cold and dry, and there isn’t enough water.
The first phase of the Khoshtiba Canal, which will support the agricultural sector. The canal project has existed for 50 years, but they did not start it until the Taliban came. This canal will provide self-sufficiency in grain and several crops, and more than that will be exported.
@@salahahmed7379 Will it be dug by hand? The Taliban doesn’t have any money for capital investment. And it is laughable to think that Afghanistan will ever be a net exporter of food, unless the idea is to starve half the population so they can sell their agricultural products on the world market.
The fact that the farmers are loosing profit from producing regular crops is not a negative, Even though individually they fear not being able to afford food, the overall impact when they all switch back to producing actual food is that local food production increases drastically and food prices will therefore become more affordable. Its a tough decision in the short term but in the long term it will help reduce Afghanistan's food insecurity.
The Taliban are doing a *GREAT* job removing crime and corruption from there great country. The BBC are lucky to be allowed entrance after all the bad publicity they did on these heroes
Wow, she managed to do a whole BBC report on Afghanistan without mentioning women and girls once. That's a record? Oh no she had to mention it sorry......

Like if taliban doing something good the still being criticised that’s how much the media is biased.
The negative tone is implying that the Taliban hasn’t provided a sensible alternative for farmers who need to pay loans and other bills. Destroying the entire crop, without compensation, is like a 100% tax rate.
@@ShaneyElderberry why don’t the international community unfreeze Afghan asserts and recognize them so the country can prosper? With this ban millions of not just Afghans but Europeans lives are being saved
@@ShaneyElderberry The crop had already had a harvest. 100% had not then been destroyed.
@@ShaneyElderberry no the tone suggests that the poppy should left behind for sometimes so that European Countries n especially UK black market doesn’t crush. If the poppy is left n one more person became addicted for life then who is responsible? N before the invasion the poppy growth was zero so that means western countries deliberately allowed this n made billion out of it.
Afgan will grow quickly, let's look at 30 years later. Real Islam not tolerance for corruption.

this country is really beautiful

Stopping supply and reducing demand both help.
Correct and well-said! I love poppy

“We can’t put food on the table with wheat”
Pretty sure food crops give more nutrition than opium…just saying
It’s about money, dumbas
So u only eat wheat every day?
@@shallnotbenamed814 It's a staple of most diets.... obviously not JUST wheat.
And I guess these people are supposed to buy cloths, tools, medicine etc. with wheat too? Not to mention the fact that they’re living in, you know, a desert, with too little arable land to even feed themselves? Didn’t help that NATO destroyed most of the fertilizer supply in the country either.
@@shallnotbenamed814 What can you make with wheat genius?

you get money from the sale of it
Ever heard of selling a product for money and then buying food 🤣😭🤣 clown

Great efforts...

I can’t imagine the punishment for not only going against their rules but by doing it by selling drugs
Did you not listen to the video? The man of the family growing the poppies to sell was released with a warning.

Ameen , the people's of Afghanistan are very brave and hospitable but the main problem is peace because from too much longe time Afghanistan face wars,
MashaAllah great positive turnover
They destroyed the family's annual earning in minutes without giving anything in return. How positive.

@@RakibHossain-mq7qv My guy said "grow up kid" like some damned thief matters more than countless families being left with no alternative and nothing.
This initiative needs to be paired w giving the farmers some means to grow a crop that can not only make them money but also supply the country's domestic food needs. Win-win situation
The usa and other western countries have imposed economic sanctions to prevent that.
Doing something the US army could not do
That shit army was there to loot and rape and torture and murder.hell with america and europe
Doing something the US army never wanted to because they made bank on it
"Could not do" is naivë of you, "didn't want to" is the reality just like this 20 year war against terror that the u.s never wanted to win. Why? Keeping the ISI engaged in this while they thought they were playing a "double game" with the U.S the U.S was ahead of them by keeping the nuclear country destabled and in return forcing pak on keeping pro u.s policies against china and stoping to to gain influence through central Asia(afg) into the middle east.
Few years ago bbc blaming taliban for trading opium now showing them as a villain when they are destrying opium
Maa Shaa Allah 💓💓💓🙏
❤❤❤
ماشاءاللّٰه
The last time the taliban destroyed the opium plants we sent in our military. Guess the taliban hasn't learned their lesson and unfortunately we'll probably be back in there.
Really then why you left your shoes and run🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Henry G like I care who won or lost dummy. It's just business and the people of afghanistan will suffer. They did this in the early 2000s and we invaded shortly after.
Afghanistan is the graveyard of empire 👊💪💪
@@Mirwankhilji 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
back in 2001, the silly Bush administration waged war on Afghanistan because of a perceived link to bin Laden. opium was not the issue
As a Westerner, I fail to understand the sad tones of the BBC reporter. Where is the problem?
We are used to media doing this to Afghanistan. That's why we support our Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan government when they throw they propagandist media out. Eradicating poppies and they have a problem, grow poppies and they have a problem...our government should ignore foreign interference and do what is right for us. We are not surprised...we are used to media manipulation, mistranslations, cutting what was actually said etc
They also demonized our Taliban, who are our pride and heros for years and now the Wesybcantbaccept that us majority of Afghans support Taliban and our Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan government now
congrats you just found out what propaganda is and how they are trying to manipulate you with music and other things
I spent more than three and half years working in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2008. One project I worked on was in Nangahar called CRAWLS in 2001. It was funded by US INL, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs. Our job was to offer villagers options to growing poppy which included schools, irrigation systems, clinics, roads and the like. I used to say to the villagers, If I give you an irrigation system, you can't use it to grow poppy in some vague hope they might comply. They didn't of course. It is interesting however, for all that is wrong with the Talibs, they are effective in eliminating the opium production and the west should do whatever it can to support that. One US option that floated around at the time was dropping agent orange up a couple of valleys. The Talibs need proper whipper snippers or tractors with mowers to complete the job on the opium and also the hashish that they grow in rotation..
Nothing is wrong with hash
It's crazy that the official Afghan government was so weak and unable to enforce its laws, while Taliban can. Their governance capacity is stronger
Kudos to Taliban😊

@@phoenixrising8640 well generally speaking they are scumbags but this particular issue they have done a good job.
A real community.
Hopefully the issue with women getting educated will be addressed in due time.
One might be surprised that natural opium could compete with the newest synthetic opiates (?!?)
the problem with synthetic stuff is that you don't actually know what is put into them, and here you get what you see
These are organic opiates so school run mums in their landrovers will pay double
Also oxycodone, hydrocodone and morphine are derived from the opium plant. The majority of pharmaceutical opium is actually grown in Tasmania. The farmer who grows the most receives a brand new Mercedes. I kid you not
@@RealismAndHonor fun fact. As opium flooded into the illicit market from Afghanistan, it made its way into the legal market. The higher supply decreased the price. Drug companies took the boon and spent more money into advertising pain pills.
Fentany is the the new drug in town...
We grow a lot of poppy seeds here in Czechia, but its completely legal and all of it is used for traditional food and pastry. Seeing that poppy seeds are still farmed for opium really suprised me
Really appricated work by Taliban . The world should take lesson from it
It's fantastic and Im from the UK
That is the most idiotic statement I've read online, ever. Have a cookie for your immense idiocy.
Ca ca ca.... cavemen
@@phoenixrising8640 Speak for yourself. "Most of us" MINUS the women, AKA 50% of the population who are stripped from basic rights, education and work. Sorry. but you are speaking for yourself. Where I come from I have been in long contact with about 20 Afghans who in fact fled from the same Taliban or just wanted a better life than how it was under Taliban in 1990s era. And they all are in HALF or ZERO support of this Afghanistan. Because they do love their county, but they don't want the 20 years of freedom that Afghanistan was rebuilding, with especially womens rights all across the board, to be reduced to zero
@@Ptolemy336VV The Americans built nothing but mountains of bodies and toilet art lessons in Afghanistan.
When other countries see the Taliban taking positive action to eradicate poppy production they will receive aid packages & financial assistance to help Afghanistan rebuild the economy & secure a bright future for its citizens.
Supporting Taliban owned country is a political suicide, the farmers families will starve and more junkies will die from synthetics around the world. Big pharma will gain monopoly on morphinan drugs. Heroin used to be the fucked up drug of the poor, now it will be for the rich while the poor will die in even bigger numbers from nitazenes and fentanyl. The chinese synthetic opioid market will flourish from this as well. And its not like people will stop doing drugs no matter what. That's the reality of what this is going to cause.
It’s ironic as the poppy and heroin funded their fight against isaf 🤦♂️
@@andrewbrown5300well now the war is off no need for it to stay.
I'm surprised by the naivety of people
@@andrewbrown5300 funny if this were true then america and its allies would have bombed the poppy fields but instead they defended it and bombed the civilian population
So many years ago when the US invaded the country, I saw some people make the observation that even though we're supposed to be in this "war on drugs", we didn't bomb a single poppy field. This was because we didn't want to anger the opium warlords of the country. The fact that the Taliban is taking this on really surprises me. I'd think they got a lot of their money from these warlords, after all.
Lmao it wasn't about "not angering" it was because the US was taking the opium.
No, our Taliban never got money from these warlords. Taliban first came into being to fight the atrocities of these same warlords who were US & NATO allies on our people. Under the first Emirate Islami poppy production was eradicated completely which was why the US foreign invader terrorists planned the 9/11 false flag attack and invaded Afghanistan. Yes, many of these warlords and other leaders from the US& NATO puppets regime were drug dealers, like Fauwzia Koofi and her family and others.
Your US marines and NATO foreign invader terrorists use to guard the poppy fields and they would blame our Taliban for flooding the markets with opium when it was them, along withtheir Afghan allies
I've never seen so many mistakes in one comment. The war on drugs was a domestic US issue in the 80s. America invaded Afghanistan as part of the war on terror, not on drugs. The opium trade provides livelihood to a great number of afghans who have no alternative, so it was considered best to not upset that particular apple cart as it would have made the Americans even more unpopular. The Taliban weren't always against growing poppies, they actually used to encourage it when they first came into power in the mid-90s because it was a source of income for the nation, despite the obvious contradiction with Islamic law
Oh no Helen, we did at the begining we went after the Poppy fields but the farmers would just move. Same thing will happen here you will see. A lot of villages in Afghanistan need the money badly.
Probably they go to individuals fields the ones that didn’t make a connections , talibans probably by now have half of the country growing for them how do u think they will survive.
Good job doing your part of limiting the world of this poisonous plant. Also glad that you are not being cruel to the farmers that try to grow them.
Very good movement. Appreciate. Help farmers in agriculture and collect their products for good price
The tone of this report is wild. Is the BBC and by extension the British Govt upset with the taliban for reducing opium production?
Are we meant to feel sorry?
absoulutely
Update please
Thanks Afganistan for saving our future from drugs, please everyone help this country away from poverty..
Taliban you are doing a great job thank you ❤️
and this guy calls himself a man of freedom lol.
Lot of respect ❤
Afghanistan has done its duty now it is the responsibility of other countries to provide financial support to Afghanistan's govt and people.
Great work
In America need Taliban for reducing drugs
This is good This for Afghanistan country. Congratulations
They don’t put up with thieves, if you get caught, they cut off one of your hands .
So you need to give poison to your child...For what?
It sounds harsh but when you think about the greater good it's very effective in eliminating crime on large scale. I'm in Canada and I just saw someone stealing just as if he's buying coffeee. Crime in Canada is crazy.
@@Planet_Xplorer if you have to steal because your so poor you don't get your hands cut off actually you need to steal what worth of 4,25 gram of gold
@@unknown-fi9cq yes you're right there are some conditions for that to be applied

Nobody cares about afghan lives
They should...He needs to face some justice!
Not saying he should be allowed to sell that ish, but was a time when reporters protected identities.
Yes it would be best if wars stopped and all were able to survive without having to resort to selling drugs.

ALLAH u Akbar that's why we Pakistanis Love Afghan Taliban keep it up ALLAH bless them and gives success to them for this noble cause. Love from Pakistan

The Taliban should be trying to get mining started with Chinese investment. The country needs some agriculture but it isn’t realistic to think they can feed themselves. The soil is poor, the region is cold and dry, and there isn’t enough water.
Thank u...can I tell Iran this? And that we have drought
The Chinese are already present.
The first phase of the Khoshtiba Canal, which will support the agricultural sector. The canal project has existed for 50 years, but they did not start it until the Taliban came. This canal will provide self-sufficiency in grain and several crops, and more than that will be exported.
@@salahahmed7379 Will it be dug by hand? The Taliban doesn’t have any money for capital investment. And it is laughable to think that Afghanistan will ever be a net exporter of food, unless the idea is to starve half the population so they can sell their agricultural products on the world market.
The fact that the farmers are loosing profit from producing regular crops is not a negative, Even though individually they fear not being able to afford food, the overall impact when they all switch back to producing actual food is that local food production increases drastically and food prices will therefore become more affordable. Its a tough decision in the short term but in the long term it will help reduce Afghanistan's food insecurity.
These guys are giving interviews ! Indian politican should learn from them .
Najlepsze że większość morfiny z tych maków idzie dla ludzi którzy cierpią na różnego rodzaju bóle 😢

As a westerner I salute them. Heroin is not a drug it's a demon
Wow, she managed to do a whole BBC report on Afghanistan without mentioning women and girls once. That's a record?
Oh no she had to mention it sorry......
Well it is a major issue . Prophet muhammed s.a.w ask to get educated even by going to china.
@POLLSMO-xd7nt it's like saying water is wet. Everyone knows it, they don't need to keep saying it over and over like we are all thick, especially when it's not the subject of the report. It's just ticking a box.
Great job by the Taliban❤
I agree
Alhamdulillah
Farmers can grow Rice,corn,grapes,and more that suitable to the area.
Wow this is going to make the fentanyl flow like water in USA. Already a problem due to opium shortage.
So you think people should keep producing heroine?
there's even a study on how when opium is banned heroin addiction skyrockets and all the complications that come from it. Most of us fet is coming from china anyways.
