Changes In Cigar Leaf Tobacco Acreage

Abstract

Cigar tobacco—filler, binder, and wrapper—was produced in seven States in 1971 and accounted for 3.9 percent of total U.S. tobacco production. General economic trends, rising imports, and industrial developments brought a two-thirds decline in cigar tobacco acreage during 1950-71, thus reducing acreage to 37,000. In six of the seven producing States, farm employment declined. Farm wage rates more than doubled, but tobacco prices did not keep pace. Regression analysis for 1957-71 explained 98 percent of the year-to-year variations in filler and binder acreage and 91 percent in wrapper. Farm tobacco prices and trend were the major factors associated with acreage variations. Further acreage decline is likely in the future.
