About unmanufactured tobacco

cpc code 0197 covers the production and trade of unmanufactured tobacco, a crucial raw material for the global tobacco industry. As a major agricultural commodity, unmanufactured tobacco plays a significant role in the economies of many tobacco-producing countries, providing employment and income for farmers and supporting related industries such as processing, distribution, and export. The demand for unmanufactured tobacco is driven by the continued global consumption of tobacco products, making this industry an important component of the broader agricultural and trade landscape.

Production process

The production of unmanufactured tobacco typically involves several key steps. Tobacco plants are cultivated, harvested, and cured to remove moisture and develop the desired flavor and aroma. The cured tobacco leaves are then sorted, graded, and sometimes fermented to further enhance their characteristics. Depending on the intended use, the processed tobacco may undergo additional treatments, such as blending or aging, before being packaged and distributed to manufacturers or exporters.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of unmanufactured tobacco include fertile agricultural land, suitable climate conditions, labor for cultivation and processing, and specialized equipment for harvesting, curing, and sorting the tobacco leaves. Additionally, agricultural inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides are essential for maintaining healthy tobacco crops. The availability and quality of these inputs can significantly impact the overall productivity and quality of the unmanufactured tobacco produced.

Production outputs

The primary output of the unmanufactured tobacco industry is, of course, the raw tobacco leaves and stems. These outputs are then consumed by manufacturers of 2121 Cigarettes, 2122 Cigars, cheroots, cigarillos and cigarettes, of tobacco or tobacco substitutes, and other tobacco products. The unmanufactured tobacco may also be exported to countries with a high demand for the raw material, contributing to international trade and economic activity.
