Tobacco
Overview
The tobacco industry has gone through a considerable amount of change over the last decade. It has experienced a significant downturn in demand related to health concerns from smoking, a settlement on medical costs, and a notable change in marketing from auction markets to contracts. In addition, significant legislative changes in 2004 resulted in the elimination of price supports and a quota buyout, thus eliminating quota and associated acreage and geographic planting restrictions.
