Tobacco Growing Prospects In Australia
Tobacco experts from the Department of Agriculture project Australia could meet 60 to 95 percent of its needs domestically, based on climate and soil diversity. They caution it will take years to reach that level, and the speed depends on how quickly growers can match the imported product in color texture and aroma. They estimate potential annual substitution nearing 4 to 4.5 million pounds once market uptake accelerates.
