Chairman of the National Leadership Council of the Indonesian Tobacco Farmers Association (DPN APTI) Agus Parmuji said the decrease in quantity was greatly influenced by water supply during planting and maintenance. Agus said that the tobacco planting season this year began in April to May to coincide with the end of the rainy season in some production areas.
"The quality is better than last year. If in quantity there is a decrease of around 30% due to lack of water during planting and maintenance, "Agus told Bisnis on Monday (10/14/2019). Based on data collected by APTI, from 15 provinces recorded with land area of ??245,000 hectares (ha) in 2018, tobacco production last year reached 220,000 tons. While for this year, Agus estimates the number ranges from 180,000 tons to 200,000 tons.
