From 2012-2022, the UK government granted Afghanistan a total sum of 211 limited-value “standard” military export licences.
The numbers of approved export licences during this period have been relatively inconsistent. In 2012, 42 licences valued at £10.6m were afforded to Afghanistan for military use. Comparatively, in 2017, there were merely 12 licences approved, however, these amounted to £19.3m worth of goods.
