Excerpt from Foreign Crops and Markets, Vol. 78: May 4, 1959

Last year's Greek tobacco crop, which will begin moving into export channels in the late summer of 1959, is considered to be of excellent quality - the best of any postwar year with the possible exception of 1956.

Of the total tobacco produced in 1958-185 million pounds-about 57 percent is reported to consist of American grades (top quality), 28 per cent European, and 15 percent Kappas. The record crop of 1957 was generally poor in quality, and only about 50 percent consisted of American grades.

As of January 1959, total stocks of tobacco in Greece (excluding the 1958 crop which was at that time undergoing the village manipulation pro cess) amounted to 118 million pounds, of which exportable grades made up 107 million pounds. The January 1, 1958, stock figure (excluding 1957 crop) was 8h million pounds.

The Greek Government has been concerned about the large tobacco crops in the past few years, and in late 1958 announced that plantings in 1959 would be restricted. Acreage this year is expected to total no more than acres, compared with in 1958.
