The Continental Tobacco Industry Group from Sátoraljaújhely looks forward to the tobacco harvest season with optimism. Artificially dried Virginia tobacco accounts for a significant percentage of Hungarian tobacco production.
Despite the extreme weather, Continental Tobacco Group, based in Sátoraljaújhely, looks forward to the tobacco harvest season with optimism, the company announced.
Dofer Dohányfermentáló Zrt. (Dofer Zrt.), which belongs to the company group, started harvesting artificially dried Virginia tobacco on a production area that is more than 10 percent larger than last year, on 1,106 hectares.
The harvest season started two weeks earlier than usual due to the exceptionally warm weather, but the production is hampered by the downy mildew infection, which has not been seen in tobacco culture for forty years, which appeared due to the humid, tropical air, they wrote.
Control is also made difficult by the limited range of approved chemicals: in some plantations, the damage has already reached 30-40 percent.
