Leaf Exports Up But Less Tobacco Used In Cigarettes
U S leaf remains dominant in global cigarette production as only 22 percent of Japan’s 126 billion cigarettes used U S leaf but 60 percent of the 196 billion output today contains American tobacco. Exports of flue cured to Japan rose to 42 million pounds in 1966 from 25.9 million in 1960-64. Thailand, Austria, Sweden, Netherlands, Belgium Luxemburg, West Germany, Vietnam, and Australia all show growing U S leaf purchases. Global cigarette output is climbing with 1957 likely another record year. U S consumption rose to 549 billion cigarettes last year though per capita use declined to 4 280. Longer filters and smaller diameters let producers make more cigarettes per pound of tobacco.
