Shipment of smoke shoots and scenery is high

In Brazil, a reduction in consumer purchasing power coupled with the campaigns against smoking led to fall in the demand for tobacco. On the other hand, the introduction of technologies in farming has made the national product was recognized for its quality, which resulted in a sharp increase in exports.
While shipments of soybeans, corn, chicken meat and bovine retreated in March, data from the Ministry of development, industry and foreign trade (MDIC) show that sending sheets of smoke for the external market jumped 68 percent in value and 92% in volume when compared to the same period in 2014.
On annual variation, the price recorded a fall of 12.5%, that's because the product was being negotiated was from stocks.
"The increase of the quantity exported is widely related to product quality gain. There was no variation in area, but the tobacco growers have introduced crop technologies that have improved the level of production and the development of the seedlings, "explains the technical advisor of the Confederation of agriculture and livestock of Brazil (CNA), Jonas Ismael Jochims. According to the expert, the incidence of rainfall in Rio Grande do Sul-largest State producer of culture-also collaborates to the smooth running of the plant.
It is worth mentioning that the Exchange variation also favored the movement of high exports. Last month, the largest purchases were made by the United States, followed by United Kingdom, Indonesia, Paraguay, Russia, Germany, Korea, Viet Nam and Hong Kong. Only the Americans have generated revenue of $ 9.4 million to the country.
"Among the emerging and developed countries see importers, which shows that international consumption, in general terms, is increasing," emphasizes the Chief Economist of the Federation of Agriculture of the State of Rio Grande do Sul (Farsul System), Antônio da Luz. "Most of the revenue received by the Country matches the payment of taxes in local, State and federal spheres. At the time the Brazil is living, we can't give up that billing and, with the fall in internal demand, which would be placed here, is being sent out. With this we have positive projections for the year, "he adds.
Currently, the main competitors of Brazil in production are Philippines, Zimbabwe and China. Although large producers, the Chinese are the biggest consumers of tobacco in the world.

Between the months of April and June to intensify sales of the product of the current crop, with best quality.
According to Schünke, the industrial sector exported $ 2.5 billion in 2014 and the estimate is that the result is replicated this year, after an increase in the cost of production.
