Growing of tobacco

NACE v2.1 Code: A01.15

About growing of tobacco

NACE code 01.15 covers the growing of tobacco, a crop that has played a significant role in the global economy for centuries. Tobacco cultivation is a major agricultural activity, particularly in regions with suitable climates and soil conditions. The tobacco industry is a crucial component of many national economies, contributing to employment, exports, and tax revenues.

Production process

The production of tobacco involves several key steps. Firstly, tobacco seeds are sown and seedlings are carefully nurtured in specialized nurseries. Once the plants have reached the appropriate size, they are transplanted to open fields where they are cultivated, with regular watering, fertilization, and pest control measures. The tobacco leaves are then harvested, typically through manual labor, and undergo a curing process to develop their distinctive flavor and aroma. Finally, the cured leaves are processed, graded, and prepared for further distribution and use.

Production inputs

The tobacco industry requires a range of inputs to support its production processes. Key raw materials include high-quality tobacco seeds, as well as various fertilizers and pesticides to ensure healthy plant growth. Specialized machinery, such as transplanting equipment, harvesters, and curing barns, are also essential for efficient tobacco cultivation. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled agricultural workforce to carry out the labor-intensive tasks involved in tobacco production.

Production outputs

The primary output of the tobacco industry is, of course, tobacco leaves and products derived from them. These outputs are then consumed by a variety of other NACE codes, including 12.00 Manufacture of tobacco products, 46.35 Wholesale of tobacco products, and 47.26 Retail sale of tobacco products. Tobacco leaves may also be used as inputs for other industries, such as 20.53 Manufacture of essential oils, where they can be utilized for the extraction of essential oils and other valuable compounds.
