Abstract:

Tobacco growers, and rural communities in which tobacco production accounts for a substantial portion of farm income, face significant challenges at the start of the twenty-first century from economic restructuring within the tobacco sector. Some of the major issues facing the Burley Belt are marketing, diversification, and a shift from traditional auctioning.
