"In its Afghan Opium Survey 2009 (summary findings) released in Kabul on 2 September 2009, UNODC reports that 'the bottom is starting to fall out of the Afghan opium market.' Opium poppy cultivation is down by 22 per cent, opium production is down by 10 per cent and prices are at a 10-year low. The number of poppy-free provinces has increased from 18 to 20, and more drugs are being seized thanks to more robust counter-narcotics operations by Afghan and NATO forces."
Afghan Opium Winter Assessment 2009 - UNODC
www.unodc.org/documents/afghanistan//ORA_report_2009.pdf
The 2009 Opium Winter Rapid Assessment is based on a small sample of villages and the results are meant to be indicative. A positive development is that opium cultivation is down, at least when measured in physical terms (hectares and tonnes). In the north, centre, and east of the country, pressure from government authorities, scarcity of food grains, an effective pre-planting information campaign as well as higher prices for licit crops seem to have contributed to the decline.

www.unodc.org/documents/afghanistan//Drug_Use_Report_Final.pdf
"The Drug Use Survey 2005, conducted jointly by UNODC and the Ministry of Counter- Narcotics (MCN) of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, aims to provide the first nationwide profile of drug use in the country. For the survey, 1480 key informants were asked questions regarding the number of drug users in their communities, the drug types that were used and trends in the level of drug use. In addition, 1393 drug users were asked the same questions and also interviewed regarding their own drug use history. The answers given by these two groups provide the core of this report. It is anticipated that the report will provide accurate baseline information enabling relevant government agencies and NGOs to develop rational and realistic strategies for drug demand reduction interventions in Afghanistan."
