U.S. tobacco crop seen falling in 1993 94 year
The Agriculture Department foresees a about five percent drop in U S tobacco production for 1993 94 from 1 72 billion pounds in 1992 93 due to higher imports and ample world leaf supplies while exports may ease but remain cushioned by a shift to American blended cigarettes. Higher prices and stricter smoking rules contribute to reduced domestic consumption as export growth partly offsets the decline.
