Tobacco production involves the cultivation of the tobacco plant, primarily for its leaves, which are processed and used in products like cigarettes and cigars. The process begins with planting seeds in nurseries, followed by transplanting young plants to fields. Farmers manage the crops through watering, fertilizing, and pest control until the leaves are ready for harvest. After harvesting, the leaves are cured to enhance flavor and reduce moisture. This curing process can take several weeks and involves drying the leaves in controlled environments. Once cured, the leaves are sorted, packaged, and sent to manufacturers for further processing into various tobacco products.
