World Tobacco Situation. China's Tobacco Leaf Trade Export versus Imports 1988-1992

摘要

China's leaf tobacco exports are expected to reach 110,500 metric tons in 1992,up 52 percent from 1991. This places China as the sixth leading exporter of unmanufactured tobacco in the World. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced the 1992-93 marketing year penalty rates for excess tobacco marketings. The penalty is charged to producers, dealers, and warehouse operators who market tobacco in excess of quota. The total U.S. unmanufactured tobacco exports during January-May 1992 are up 8 percent in volume and 10 percent in value over last year, reaching 120,684 metric tons, and $770.1 million.
