Tobacco Industry In Africa Develops Along Modern Lines
J. B. Cockfield, an official of the Southern Tobacco Co, describes American help shaping Africa's tobacco trade in Rhodesia and Nyassaland. He notes a 1936 auction mart start for bright leaf, large Rhodesia markets in Salisbury, and lighter, traditional dark fire tobacco sold by native growers in Nyassaland. Markets use rail and diverse, hands-on methods with buyers, brokers, and local labor, while American experts from North Carolina oversee modernization and honesty in trading practices.
