  12. US Dark Tobacco Acres +38% -16% +21% Source: NASS/USDA Agricultural Economics

  13. Domestic State and Federal Tx Increases Increasing Smoking Restrictions FDA and other Regulations General Economy Downturn What about Burley? • Export • Higher Valued Dollar • Increasing Foreign Supplies • Global Economic Downturn Agricultural Economics

  14. How Did U.S. Burley Growers Respond in 2009 in Response to Reduced Demand Expectations? • 2009 Burley Farmers Faced with … • Lower ag commodity prices • Declines in dark tobacco contract needs • Off-farm job layoffs • Diminished buyout dollars • Available infrastructure • Alternative markets/decent prices for pre 2009 crops Agricultural Economics

  23. U.S. Burley Production vs Disappearance (Use) Potential Needs for 2009-10 at “profitable” prices … Less than 200 mil lbs ??? Source: NASS/ERS/AMS/USDA Agricultural Economics

  24. Average U.S. Burley Prices • What about 2009/2010? • Better quality crop in 09 should induce higher “average” prices. • Poor quality tobacco, especially outside of contract will suffer greatly • Excess production in 2009 could enhance short-term disappearance, but have adverse impacts on 2010 contract volume given anticipated domestic and export demand outlook

  25. What does the immediate future hold for U.S. Burley? • Companies Need Less Total Acres/Less Growers • More Volatile Prices and Tight Profit Margins Especially for Low Yielding/Low Quality Leaf • Consolidation Could Lead to Opportunities for Good Low Cost Producers of Quality Leaf to Maintain Profits and Crop Size
