Though demand ranges from 320 thousand tons per year. "That is, there is a shortage (shortage) of approximately 120 thousand tons of industrial demand by 320 thousand tons," he said in Jember, East Java, Saturday, July 30, 2016.
Based on data from the Ministry of Agriculture in 2014, the tobacco harvest reached 163 187 tonnes. While industrial demand each year to reach about 300 thousand tons. In fact, in Indonesia, there are approximately 550 thousand tobacco farmers.
