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.

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.
