Brisbane Tobacco Sale Shows Record Prices Amid Shortage
In Brisbane a tobacco sale opened with leaf at 170 pence per pound, higher than the year's first Mareeba sale. Bowen farmers Elphinstone and Kirby supplied the leaf, and traders noted strong demand for even low quality leaf. Prices rose about 25 percent from the Mareeba sale, with Tower grade starting bids at 25 pence and some lots sold around 150 pence. The debate over land for tobacco expansion centered on selling small portions of south-west cattle and sheep properties, with Agostinelli arguing Australia could double tobacco output if land became available.
