Tobacco sales in Brisbane lure few buyers amid dull bidding
At Brisbane on June 30 only 80 tons of the 224 offered were sold in the first two days of the sale. Growers complained the current crop was unsuitable for local needs and buyers showed apathy, with several expressing willingness to sell only if prices rose. Some farmers faced wage burdens and feared dumping unsold leaf as the auction continued. The investigation into Queensland tobacco issues in the Commonwealth era prompted officials to invite buyers to the week ahead.
