Planted area for tobacco is trending lower in many of the top producing countries worldwide. Much of this decline can be attributed to producers adjusting their leaf production to be more in line with consumption in order to reduce stock levels. India and Turkey cut production in 2001 to lower leaf stocks after record output over the last couple of years. Area planted in Zimbabwe has decreased because of depressed economic conditions and the ongoing land-ownership crisis.

WORLD DEVELOPMENTS

Highlights:

Argentina: Argentine total leaf production for 2001 is estimated at 101,000 metric tons, down 12 percent from the previous year. This five year low is attributed to weather problems and a 6­percent drop in area planted. Leaf exports are expected to increase marginally in 2001 as stocks fall almost 9 percent. For complete report go to: http://www.fas.usda.gov, attache reports, and search by AGR# or AR1033.

Germany: Cigarette production continues to grow in 2001 as a result of increased demand in the European Union and is forecast to reach 208 billion pieces in 2001, up slightly from a year ago. Cigarette exports are estimated to reach 91 billion pieces in 2001, compared to 90 billion pieces in 2000. For complete report go to: http://www.fas.usda.gov, attache reports, and search by AGR# or GM1017.

Philippines: Leaf production is estimated at 68,300 metric tons in 2001, compared to 75,189 tons a year ago. This 9 percent drop is due to early season rain which pushed yields for 2001 lower. Sources expect that imports will increase slightly in 2001 in order to make up for the leaf deficit. For complete report go to: http://www.fas.usda.gov, attache reports, and search by AGR# or RP1028.

Poland: Smuggled tobacco products continue to negatively impact the tobacco industry. Sources estimate smuggled cigarettes account for 15 percent of total cigarette sales. Since 1999 legal cigarette production dropped by 26 percent because of the encroachment of illicit brands in the Polish market. As a result of the 26-percent drop in cigarette production, tobacco manufacturers purchased less unmanufactured tobacco, both domestic and imported. Leaf production is forecast to remain stable in 2001 but has dropped by 40 percent since 1999. For complete report go to: http://www.fas.usda.gov, attache reports, and search by AGR# or PL1015.

Taiwan: Taiwanese cigarettes continue to lose market share to imported brands. The market share of local brands was down 4 percent in 2000 compared to the previous year. Cigarette imports, especially Japanese and German brands are expected to increase by 4 increase in 2001. As a result of decreased demand for domestic cigarettes, cigarette production is forecast to decline slightly to 20 billion pieces in 2001. For complete report go to: http://www.fas.usda.gov, attache reports, and search by AGR# or TW1020.

World Auction Updates:

Malawi: Malawi’s Tobacco Control Commission reported that 23.8 million kg of burley tobacco was sold after five weeks of the auction season for an average price of US$1.14 per kg, up 23 percent in volume and up slightly in value from the same period a year ago. However, flue-cured sales so far have dropped by nearly 25 percent in volume and 58 percent in average price compared to same period a year ago.

Zimbabwe Tobacco Auction Update: Zimbabwe’s Tobacco Marketing Board reported that 36.3 million kg of flue-cured tobacco were sold after eight weeks of the auction season for an average price of U.S.$1.93 per kilogram. This is down nearly 4 percent in volume and up nearly 78 percent in average price from the same period a year ago. The seasonal rejection rate was 12 percent lower than the corresponding period in 2000.

U.S. DEVELOPMENTS

Highlights:

USDA Announces Importer Assessment Rates for Flue-Cured Tobacco: USDA announced assessment rates effective July 1, 2001 on unmanufactured flue-cured tobacco imported for consumption at five cents per pound. The assessment rates are the same for domestically­produced flue-cured tobacco and will remain in effect through June 30, 2002. For complete report go to: http://www.fsa.usda.gov, news releases, June.

SPECIAL REPORT

World Unmanufactured Tobacco Production, Supply and Distribution

Production

China, the United States, India, Brazil, Indonesia, and Greece, account for nearly three-quarters of the world’s unmanufactured tobacco production. Global leaf production is forecast to fall by 12 percent in 2001 as a result of efforts by some countries to cut stock levels, and lower cigarette use in selected markets. China, which produces a third of the world’s leaf, continues to focus on decreasing leaf stock levels by limiting production and improving leaf quality. However, China’s efforts are being undermined by high support prices for tobacco and falling prices for other commodities. Chinese leaf production is estimated to increase to 2.16 million metric tons in 2001 compared to 2.10 MMT in 2000.

The main flue-cured production area in India is reportedly on a crop holiday because of strong production and stagnant demand in 2000 which led to record leaf stock levels. Flue-cured production is estimated to drop by 70 percent in 2001 due to efforts by the industry to cut total stocks by 60 percent.

The U.S. tobacco industry is showing signs of stabilizing after a two year decline in flue-cured and burley tobacco quotas. Leaf production is forecast to down only marginally this year as a result of a slight increase in the 2001 flue-cured effective quota. The 2001 flue-cured effective quota is 248 tons, compared with 246 tons the previous marketing season. The burley effective quota is 166 tons, down 4 percent from the previous marketing season.

Consumption

Global leaf consumption is expected to fall 2 percent in 2001 due to lower cigarette demand in selected countries. The world’s top leaf consumers are China, the United States, India, Indonesia, Japan, Germany, and the Russian Federation. For China, the world’s largest leaf consumer, leaf use is expected to marginally increase as a result of a 3.6-percent increase in cigarette exports anticipated for 2001. In the United States, leaf use continues to fall due to lower domestic cigarette consumption and lower cigarette exports. But in Japan and Russia, leaf consumption is projected to increase by 2 percent in 2001 as a result of increased cigarette production.

Exports

The world’s leading leaf exporting nations are Brazil, the United States, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Turkey, and Greece. U.S. leaf sales to overseas markets are expected to remain constant in 2001. Competitive prices from world suppliers, aggressive anti-smoking campaigns world-wide, and decreased leaf production continue to affect U.S. sales abroad. Zimbabwe, the third largest leaf

exporter, continues to experience economic hardship and uncertainty over land ownership.

Page 25: Tobacco: World Markets and Trade - Cornell University...Jun 01, 2001  · Agricultural World Markets and Trade Service Circular Series FT-02-01 June 2001 Total Unmanufactured Tobacco

Although leaf production is expected to increase marginally, exports are forecast to reach 185,000 tons compared to 215,744 tons before the 1999.

Imports

The Russian Federation, Germany, the United States, and Japan are the world’s leading unmanufactured tobacco importing nations. Japan and the United States are expected to cut leaf imports in 2001 as a result of lower cigarette production. Although leaf imports dropped marginally in 2001 compared to a year ago, Japan is becoming more dependent on leaf imports as their leaf production disappears. In Germany and the Russian Federation, leaf imports are projected to rise because of increased cigarette production. German flue-cured and burley imports are expected to increase by 5 and 2 percent, respectively, in 2001. The Russian Federation is expected to import 299,800 tons of leaf tobacco in 2001 compared to 285,000 tons in 2000.

Stocks

World unmanufactured tobacco stock levels are projected to decline by 12 percent in 2001. This decline is a result of countries bringing production more in line with consumption. China and the United States when combined account for over half the world’s leaf stocks. China, which accounts for about 34 percent of world stocks, is expected to reduce stocks by nearly 14 percent in 2001. The Chinese goal for 2001 is to lower stocks by 1 million metric tons within 2 years. Stock levels in the United States are expected to slide by 2 percent in 2001.
