Foreword 


The  twenty-fourth  annual  issue  of  the 
North  Carolina  Tobacco  Report  was 
compiled  and  assembled  under  the 
direction  of  J.  H.  Cyrus,  Chief  of  the 
Field  Crops  Section  and  J.  T.  Bunn, 
Tobacco  Marketing  Specialist, 
Division  of  Markets,  North  Carolina 
Department  of  Agriculture. 

In  North  Carolina,  tobacco  continues 
to  account  for  almost  two-thirds  of  the 
total  cash  income  from  all  crops.  Yet, 
only  one  acre  in  every  eleven  acres  of 
harvested  crop  land  in  North  Carolina 
is  planted  in  tobacco.  More  than  ninety 

of  North  Carolina's  counties  grow  tobacco,  and  over  300,000 
persons  —  farmers  and  their  families  —  depend  on  tobacco  for  a 
major  source  of  their  livelihood. 

North  Carolina  produces  and  markets  approximately  two- 
thirds  of  all  the  flue-cured  tobacco  grown  in  the  United  States, 
and  the  tobacco  industry  of  this  State  manufactures  around 
fifty-five  percent  of  all  the  cirgarettes  made  in  the  U.  S.  A. 

Tobacco  produced  in  North  Carolina  contributes  heavily 
toward  this  nation's  balance  in  foreign  trade.  In  1971-72  North 
Carolina's  share  of  the  exports  of  unmanufactured  tobacco 
contributed  $302  million  toward  the  balance  of  payment  in 
world  trade. 

This  annual  publication  contains  a  wealth  of  information 
related  to  all  phases  of  this  great  industry,  and  it  is  made 
available  to  those  who  request  it  from  year  to  year  throughout 
the  United  States  and  in  several  foreign  countries. 

Recognition  is  given  the  Cooperative  Crop  Reporting  Service, 
the  Agricultural  Stabilization  Conservation  Service,  the  Flue- 
Cured  Tobacco  Cooperative  Stabilization  Corporation,  and  the 
Tobacco  Division,  Agricultural  Marketing  Service,  U.  S. 
Department  of  Agriculture  for  their  cooperation  in  making  data 
available  for  this  publication. 


Commissioner  of  Agriculture 


1972- A  RECORD  YEAR 


It  appears  that  the  record  farm  prices  received  in  1972  will  go 
down  in  history  as  a  year  to  remember.  Record  prices  were 
established,  not  only  for  tobacco  but  for  most  of  our  major  crops 
in  the  Tarheel  state.  Tobacco,  of  course,  is  North  Carolina's 
number  one  cash  crop,  accounting  for  more  than  60  percent  of 
the  cash  receipts  from  all  crops  produced  in  this  state.  After 
tobacco,  the  next  four  leading  crops  in  order  of  their  cash 
returns  are  corn,  soybeans,  peanuts  and  cotton. 

Tobacco  —  from  the  grass  root  farmers  on  through  all  phases 
of  the  industry  —  enjoyed  one  of  its  best  years  yet.  New  records 
were  established  in  average  prices  paid  to  growers  for  their 
1972  flue-cured  crop.  This  resulted  in  an  all-time  high  gross 
dollar  return  from  the  crop.  The  1972  crop  was  sold  during  the 
shortest  span  of  any  marketing  season  on  record.  Manufac- 
turers also  established  new  records  in  the  total  number  of 
cigarettes  produced,  in  the  volume  of  cigarettes  exported,  and 
domestic  consumption  of  cigarettes  reached  an  all-time  record 
in  1972.  From  all  indications,  the  tobacco  industry  is  healthy 
and  growing. 

1972  Marketing  Season 

The  record-breaking  1972  flue-cured  marketing  season  was 
very  unuasual  in  that  all  grades  from  the  poorest  to  the  highest 
quality  sold  within  a  few  cents  of  the  same  high  price  per  pound. 
The  record  average  price  received  by  Tarheel  flue-cured 
growers  was  $85.65  per  hundred  pounds  —  $8.00  above  the 
previous  record  established  in  1971.  This  gave  North  Carolina 
growers  a  record  gross  return  of  $572  million  from  the  sale  of 
667  million  pounds  of  flue-cured  tobacco  in  1972. 

North  Carolina  burley  tobacco  growers  received  an  average 
of  $77.53  per  hundred  from  the  sale  of  their  1972  crop  —  about 
$2.24  per  hundred  less  than  the  record  average  of  $79.77  in  1971. 
However,  their  gross  return  of  slightly  more  than  $13.7  million 
from  the  sale  of  17.7  million  pounds  of  burley  tobacco  was  in  line 
with  their  average  gross  returns  during  the  last  several  years. 

New  Plateau 

The  new  plateaus  reached  by  the  tobacco  manufacturing 
industry  in  1972  included  an  all-time  record  production  of  599 


billion  cigarettes  —  up  about  4  percent  from  the  previous  year. 
Of  the  total  production,  U.  S.  smokers  consumed  a  record  552 
billion  tax  paid  cigarettes,  which  was  4  percent  more  than  the 
previous  record  consumption  of  1971.  Also,  the  exports  of  U.  S. 
manufactured  cigarettes  reached  a  new  record  of  34  billion.  The 
export  of  cigarettes  has  increased  more  than  30  percent  during 
the  last  3  years.  Thus,  it  appears  that  the  tobacco  industry  is  in 
a  healthy  state,  and  that  the  ban  two  years  ago  on  T.  V.  and 
radio  advertising  of  cigarettes  has  had  no  noticiceble  effect  on 
total  sales  of  cigarettes. 

Tax  Threat 

The  biggest  threat  to  the  tobacco  industry  today  continues  to 
come  from  state  and  local  governments  in  their  determined 
efforts  to  place  unreasonable  tax  burdens  on  cigarettes,  which 
has  had  the  effect  of  pricing  cigarettes  out  of  the  market  in 
many  states.  There  are  36  states  that  have  cigarette  taxes  that 
range  from  10  cents  to  21  cents  per  pack.  The  average  state 
cigarette  tax  currently  is  slightly  more  than  12  cents  per  pack. 
However,  through  the  broadly  expanded  program  and  efforts  of 
the  Tobacco  Tax  Council,  the  trend  toward  higher  and  higher 
state  taxes  on  cigarettes  has  been  slowed.  In  1972  only  six  states 
increased  cigarette  taxes,  compared  to  15  states  in  1971 .  Thus,  it 
appears  that  progress  is  being  made  in  curbing  this  threat  to 
the  tobacco  industry. 

Outlook  for  1973 

In  view  of  the  over-all  improvement  in  the  tobacco  situation, 
the  outlook  for  1973  is  very  optimistic.  For  the  first  time  in 
many  years,  the  1973  flue-cured  marketing  season  will  start 
with  practically  no  surplus  on  hand  above  the  normal  reserve 
supply.  In  fact,  a  shortage  of  supply  currently  exists  in  many 
grades  of  flue-cured  tobacco  that  come  from  the  lower  half  of 
the  plant.  This  situation  lead  to  a  sharp  increase  in  flue-cured 
imports  in  1972. 

Because  of  the  flue-cured  supply  situation  it  was  necessary 
under  the  provisions  of  the  Tobacco  Act  for  the  U.  S.  Secretary 
of  Agriculture  to  increase  quotas  by  10  percent  for  1973.  This 
increase  pushed  the  national  flue-cured  quota  up  to  1,  178.4 
million  pounds.  The  net  quota  carryover  from  under- 
marketings  in  1972  amounted  to  31.7  million  pounds.  Thus,  the 
effective  1973  national  flue-cured  quota  is  for  1,210  million 
pounds.  However,  based  on  U.  S.  flue-cured  growers  March  1 


intentions  of  planting  572,000  acres  in  1973,  at  an  average  yield 
of  2,000  pounds  per  acre,  it  appears  that  the  1973  flue-cured 
production  will  amount  to  only  about  1,144  million  pounds.  This 
would  be  132  million  pounds  more  than  the  1972  production. 

North  Carolina's  share  of  the  1973  base  quota  is  778  million 
pounds,  with  an  under-marketing  quota  carryover  of  18  million 
pounds.  This  gives  North  Carolina  an  effective  quota  of  796 
million  pounds  for  1973.  Here  again,  Tarheel  growers  indicated 
on  March  1  that  they  would  plant  only  371,000  acres  of  their 
allotted  431,000  acres  in  1973.  At  an  average  yield  of  2,000 
pounds,  this  would  project  the  North  Carolina  1973  flue-cured 
production  at  about  742  million  pounds. 

The  1973  U.  S.  basic  burley  quota,  which  under  the  law  must 
be  at  least  95  percent  of  the  expected  use  for  the  market  year, 
was  increased  5  percent  pushing  the  base  quota  up  to  560.5 
million  pounds.  The  carryover  quota  resulting  from  under- 
marketing  is  estimated  at  23  million  pounds,  which  put  the 
national  effective  burley  quota  at  584  million  pounds. 

The  base  quota  for  North  Carolina  burley  growers  is  20 
million  pounds,  plus  4.5  million  pounds  carried  over  from  un- 
der-marketing, giving  them  an  effective  quota  of  24.5  million 
pounds  for  1973. 

Price  supports  for  1973  are  up  5.4  percent,  pushing  the 
average  support  level  for  flue-cured  up  to  76.6  cents  per  pound. 
This  increase  in  the  support  price  will  hold  most  top  quality 
grades  near  the  record  prices  paid  for  those  grades  last  season. 
The  expected  larger  volume  of  tobacco  will  likely  cause  some 
downward  shift  in  prices  of  poorer  quality  grades,  which  will 
restore  the  normal  spread  in  the  buying  pattern.  This  price 
spread  for  flue-cured  in  1973  will  likely  range  mostly  between 
$70.00  and  $90.00  per  hundred  pounds,  with  a  season  average 
ranging  between  $80.00  and  $85.00  per  hundred  if  the  quality  of 
the  crop  is  maintained.  With  the  increase  in  quota,  this  should 
give  Tarheel  growers  another  record  gross  income  from  their 
1973  flue-cured  crop. 

The  burley  support  level  was  pushed  up  to  an  average  of  78.9 
cents  per  pound.  Thus,  burley  growers  can  expect  the  1973  crop 
to  average  better  than  $80.00  per  hundred,  if  they  can  come  up 
with  another  good  smoking  crop. 

The  current  situation  throughout  the  tobacco  industry  is 
showing  favorable  trends.  It  is  expected  that  the  production  of 
cigarettes,  as  well  as  domestic  consumption,  will  rise  above  the 
record  1972  level.  Thus,  it  appears  that  all  segments  of  the 
tobacco  industry  will  enjoy  another  record  year  in  1973. 


(U 


Tobacco  Warehouses  Required  to 
Carry  Adequate  Fire  Insurance 

North  Carolina  General  Statutes  106-465  relating  to  the 
"organization  and  membership  of  tobacco  boards  of  trade" 
were  amended  during  the  1973  session  of  the  General  Assembly 
to  require  that  adequate  fire  insurance  coverage  be  a 
prerequisite  to  membership  in  a  Tobacco  Board  of  Trade  for  the 
purpose  of  operatina  a  tobacco  action  warehouse. 

The  amended  law  states  that: 

"Each  Tobacco  Board  of  Trade  organized  pursuant  to  this 
section  shall,  on  or  before  June  1,  1973,  by  regulation,  require 
that  all  auction  warehouse  firms  which  are  members  of,  or 
may  hereafter  request  membership  in,  such  Board  of  Trade 
for  the  purpose  of  displaying  for  sale  and  selling  leaf  tobacco, 
deposit  with  the  Board  of  Trade  prior  to  the  market  opening, 
a  copy  of  a  policy  of  fire  insurance  and  extended  coverage  in 
a  company  licensed  to  do  business  in  North  Carolina  to  fully 
insure,  as  determined  by  the  Board  of  Trade,  the  market 
value  of  the  maximum  volume  of  tobacco  that  will  be 
weighed  and  left  displayed  for  sale  on  said  warehouse  floor  at 
any  time  during  the  marketing  season.  Warehouses  using 
mechanized  conveyor  line  auction  sales  where  tobacco  is  not 
displayed  for  sale  on  sales  floor  would  be  excluded  from  the 
requirement  of  this  regulation. 

In  determining  the  market  value  and  maximum  volume  of 
tobacco  that  will  be  weighed  and  placed  on  said  warehouse 
floor  at  any  one  time,  the  Board  of  Trade  shall  use  as  criteria 
the  prior  season's  official  gross  average  price  for  that  belt,  as 
recorded  by  the  North  Carolina  Department  of  Agriculture 
and  the  maximum  limit  of  daily  sales,  as  recommended  by 
the  currently  functioning  flue-cured  and  burley  tobacco 
marketing  organizations,  applied  to  each  warehouse  based 
on  the  firm's  pro  rata  share  of  the  market's  maximum  limit 
daily  sales  opportunity,  multiplied  times  the  number  of  days 
of  sales  that  said  warehouse  plans  to  place  on  sales  floor  at 
any  one  time,  including  any  and  all  tobacco  weighed  and 
deposited  with  the  warehouse  as  bailee  for  future  sale.  The 
data  relating  to  the  official  average  price  and  the  maximum 
limits  of  daily  sales  shall  be  assembled  and  supplied  by  the 
North  Carolina  Commissioner  of  Agriculture  or  his 
representative  to  the  Board  of  Trade  in  each  tobacco  market 


in  North  Carolina,  at  least  30  days  prior  to  the  opening  of 
markets  in  each  belt. 

It  shall  be  unlawful  for  any  person,  firm,  or  corporation  to 
operate  an  auction  sale  in  said  market  until  said  policy  is  so 
deposited  with  and  approved  by  the  Board  of  Trade.  The 
Board  of  Trade  shall  enjoin  the  sale  of  tobacco  by  any 
warehouse  firm  that  fails  to  so  deposit  a  policy  of  fire  in- 
surance and  extended  coverage  with  the  Board." 


state  Market  Summary  1972-73 

Congratulations  are  certainly  in  order  to  all  North  Carolina 
tobacco  farmers  who,  with  help  of  a  good  growing  season, 
produced  a  suberb  crop  of  tobacco  during  1972.  Evidence  of  fine 
quality  production  was  demonstrated  repeatedly  by  record  high 
prices  in  all  flue-cured  belts.  Favorable  weather  in  most  areas, 
except  possibly  the  Old  Belt,  and  other  production  factions 
combined  to  produce  a  mature,  thin  to  medium  bodied  crop, 
superior  in  quality  to  any  crop  produced  in  recent  years.  This 
excellent  production  came  at  a  time  when  tobacco  stocks  were 
at  an  unusually  low  level,  so  manufacturers  and  dealers  were 
eager  to  obtain  more  than  normal  percentages  of  the  season 
sales.  Therefore,  prices  climbed  above  all  predicted  levels  until 
most  of  the  crop  had  been  sold.  Prices  did  decline  considerably 
toward  the  end  of  the  flue-cured  season  and  the  farmers  that 
could  not  sell  their  tobacco  early  in  the  market  season  were 
yoked  with  an  additional  burden  of  having  to  accept  prices 
much  less  than  the  season  average. 

The  flue-cured  average  price  for  North  Carolina  markets 
attained  a  mark  of  eminence  during  1972,  with  the  State 
average  reaching  a  record  high  of  $85.83  per  hundred  pounds, 
surpassing  the  1971  average  by  $8.19  per  hundred  pounds.  Value 
of  1972  producer  sales  in  North  Carolina  markets  was 
$533,407,488  an  increase  of  $29,493,119  over  1971  sales;  and 
volume  decreased  to  621,494,537  pounds,  down  26,845,159  pounds 
from  1971  sales. 

Burley  prices  during  the  1972-73  season  averaged  $77.53  per 
hundred  pounds  and  is  the  second  highest  average  on  record  in 
North  Carolina.  This  average  was  down  $2.24  per  hundred 
pounds  from  the  all-time  high  recorded  during  the  1971-72 
season.  Volume  and  value  of  the  1972-73  season  sales  increased 
substantially  over  the  previous  season  sales. 

TYPE  13.  Border  Belt  markets  held  opening  sales  on  July  25 
and  the  1972  record  breaking  tobacco  season  commenced. 
Markets  were  open  for  38  sales  days  and  closed  on  September 
28. 

Quality  showed  improvement  again  in  1972  with  the  crop 
containing  an  unusually  large  percentage  of  cutter  and  fair  to 
fine  leaf. 

Grade  price  averages  increased  $2.00-$13.00  per  hundred 
pounds  over  last  year's  average  with  the  larger  increases  going 
to  lower  quality  offerings.  Border  Belt  markets  established  a 
new  record  average  in  1972  of  $85.38  per  hundred  pounds,  up 

10 


$9.58  per  hundred  pounds  from  the  1971  record  average. 

Producer  sales  in  1972  declined  to  107,710,183  pounds,  selling 
for  $91,966,941.  In  1971,  producers  sold  118,800,860  pounds  for 
$90,050,761. 

Stabilization  receipts  were  smaller  in  the  Border  markets 
than  any  other  North  Carolina  belt.  Only  623,101  pounds  went 
under  loan,  amounting  to  0.6  percent  of  producer  sales.  In  1971 
stabilization  received  9,039,555  pounds  or  7.8  percent  of 
producer  sales. 

TYPE  12.  Eastern  Belt  markets  opened  for  a  fourth  con- 
secutive record  breaking  year  on  August  8.  Only  7  markets  with 
11  sets  of  buyers  operated  during  the  first  two  weeks  of  the 
season,  but  farmers  were  well  pleased  with  the  limited  early 
opening  in  1972.  Eastern  sales  were  spread  over  a  period  of  52 
sales  days  with  final  sales  occuring  on  November  9. 

Quality  was  exceptionally  good  in  the  east  with  an  increase  in 
percentage  of  primings  and  cutters  and  a  larger  volume  of  ripe 
orange  grades  being  sold.  Overall,  the  eastern  crop  was  the  best 
in  several  years. 

Grade  price  averages  jumped  $3.00-$11.00  per  hundred 
pounds  with  practically  all  grades  being  up  $7.00-$10.00  per 
hundred  pounds.  Eastern  Belt  markets  achieved  the  highest 
season  average  on  record  in  North  Carolina  of  $87.34  per  hun- 
dred pounds,  an  increase  of  $8.81  per  hundred  pounds  over  the 
1971  average. 

Producer  sales  for  1972  increased  slightly  to  316,441,050 
pounds,  returning  farmers  $276,394,101.  During  the  1971  season, 
producers  sold  316,362,168  pounds  valued  at  $248,454,294. 

Stabilization  received  8,206,770  pounds  or  2.6  percent  of 
producer  sales,  a  decrease  from  1971  when  19,204,496  pounds  or 
6.1  percent  of  producer  sales  went  to  stabilization. 

TYPE  11 B.  Middle  Belt  markets  began  another  record 
breaking  year  on  August  22.  During  the  first  three  weeks  of 
sales,  three  markets  operated  with  four  sets  of  buyers  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  early  limited  opening  schedule  and 
remaining  markets  opened  on  September  11.  The  season  was 
distributed  over  a  period  of  46  sales  days  and  final  sale  occurred 
on  November  14.  Middle  Belt  growers  found  early  opening  to  be 
a  very  acceptable  innovation  in  the  marketing  schedule. 

Quality  of  offerings  increased  slightly  with  larger  per- 
centages of  good  and  fair  grades  being  sold.  Most  of  the  crop 
was  ripe  but  an  apparent  decrease  was  noticed  in  mellow 
smoking  leaf  grades. 

11 


Grade  price  averages  improved  $1.00-$11.00  per  hundred, 
with  most  increases  being  $5.00-$8.00  per  hundred  pounds. 
Middle  Belt  markets  reached  another  level  average  for  the 
season  of  $84.96  per  hundred  pounds,  up  $7.68  from  the  record 
set  in  1971. 

Producer  sale  pounds  decreased  again  in  1972  to  104,963,197 
pounds,  but  value  increased  to  $89,176,792.  In  comparison,  the 
1971  sales  amounted  to  113,235,768  pounds  and  returned  farmers 
$87,505,872. 

Stabilization  receipts  amounted  to  3,123,560  pounds  or  3.0 
percent  of  producer  sales.  During  1971,  stabilization  received 
5,400,965  pounds  of  4.8  percent  of  producer  sales. 

TYPE  llA.  Old  Belt  markets  opened  simultaneously  with 
Middle  Belt  markets  in  1972.  The  beginning  date  for  the  two 
early  opening  markets,  which  used  three  sets  of  buyers,  was 
August  22,  and  other  markets  opened  on  September  11.  North 
Carolina  markets  operated  for  46  sale  days  and  concluded  on 
November  14  ending  a  record  breaking  season. 

Quality  improved  again  in  1972  with  larger  proportions  of  fair 
and  good  grades,  especially  in  the  priming,  lug  and  cutter 
grades.  However,  there  was  a  sizable  increase  in  the  volume  of 
unripe  and  green  leaf  grades  offered  for  sale. 

Grade  price  averages  for  most  grades  increased  $1.00-$12.00 
per  hundred  pounds  with  the  larger  increases  going  to  priming 
grades.  Some  of  the  unripe  variegated  leaf  grades  were  down 
$1.00-$6.00  per  hundred  pounds.  North  Carolina  Old  Belt 
markets  established  a  new  record  of  $82.13  per  hundred  pounds, 
an  increase  of  $4.70  per  hundred  over  the  1971  season  average. 

Producer  sales  volume  and  value  declined  in  1972  to  92,380,107 
pounds  valued  at  $75,869,654.  In  1971,  producers  sold  99,580,900 
pounds  for  $77,104,749. 

Stabilization  receipts  increased  in  1972  due  to  a  drop  in 
demand  for  tobaccos  during  late  season  sales.  A  total  of 
6,048,814  pounds  went  under  government  loan  or  6.6  percent 
sales.  In  1971,  only  3,774,199  pounds  or  3.8  percent  producer 
sales  went  to  stabilization. 

TYPE  31.  Burley  markets  opened  November  20  for  a  very 
good  marketing  season.  Markets  operated  for  21  sale  days  and 
final  sales  on  North  Carolina  markets  were  held  January  10. 

Quality  of  offerings  showed  improvement  with  larger  per- 
centages of  good  and  choice  grades  of  medium  body.  Also,  ther 
was  a  noticeable  decrease  in  green  and  red  grades. 

Grade  price  averages  declined  $1.00-$4.00  per  hundred 
pounds,  with  most  all  grades  selling  within  a  narrow  price 

12 


range.  The  season  average  for  North  Carolina  markets  was 
$77.53  per  hundred  pounds,  a  decrease  of  $2.24  per  hundred 
pounds  from  the  record  high  season  average  in  1971 . 

Producer  sales  increased  substantially  on  North  Carolina 
markets.  Farmers  sold  17,092,489  pounds  for  a  price  of 
$13,251,867  during  the  1972-73  season.  In  1972-73,  growers  sold 
12,522,449  pounds  valued  at  $9,989,391. 

Burley  stabilization  receipts  were  small,  only  236,976  pounds 
or  1.3  percent  of  producer  sales  went  under  government  loan 
during  the  1972-73  season.  However,  no  tobacco  in  North 
Carolina  was  placed  under  loan  during  the  1971-72  season.
