Tobacco farming involves the cultivation of the tobacco plant, primarily for the production of cigarettes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco. Farmers typically grow tobacco in warm climates with well-drained soil. The process includes planting seeds, nurturing the plants, and harvesting the leaves when they reach maturity. After harvesting, the leaves are cured to enhance their flavor and quality. This curing process can take several weeks and involves drying the leaves in controlled conditions. Once cured, the tobacco is processed and prepared for sale, contributing significantly to the economies of many countries that produce it.
