Tobacco export payments to be increased this month
The U S Department of Agriculture will raise export payments by 5 cents per pound later this month to regain foreign markets. The boost applies to most tobaccos outside Pennsylvania cigar filler and Maryland tobaccos and adds to existing exports and rebates for flue cured fire cured and dark air cured varieties. USDA notes U S share of world tobacco trade slipped to 26 percent in 1965 from 35 percent five years earlier.
