Tobacco cultivation involves growing the Nicotiana tabacum plant, which is primarily used for producing tobacco products. The process begins with seed germination, followed by transplanting seedlings into fields. Farmers carefully manage soil conditions, water, and nutrients to ensure healthy growth. Once the plants mature, they are harvested, typically by hand. The leaves are then cured, a process that involves drying and fermenting them to develop flavor. After curing, the leaves are sorted and processed for various products, including cigarettes, cigars, and chewing tobacco.
