Life cycle● Seeds germinate in 7-14 days● Seeds are sewn into seedbeds (typically
styrofoam or plastic float trays) for protection before being transplanted to the field
● 2-3 months after transplanting, plant is topped to keep from developing flowers
● Ripening begins 5-7 weeks after topping, gradually leaves become ready to pick

Grading● Tobacco leaves are classified as normal or
abnormal ● Normal leaves are graded based on their
position on the stalk and their color.● Three position categories:
○ Lugs (X)○ Cutters (C)○ Leaf (B)
● Three color categories:○ Lemon (L)○ Orange (F)○ Red-brown (R)
● These characteristics are combined to form the proper groups, which are then each divided into 3 or 4 grades depending on their specific characteristics.
● For example, a grade 2 lemon colored lug leaf would be denoted by X2L

Futures Markets ● Tobacco isn’t traded on commodities markets due to the relatively small crop size and because it is mainly only sold from grower to producers limiting the number of intermediaries involved.
● Recently, British American Tobacco just announced that they are hopeful that they can create a coronavirus vaccine for millions of people by June, this cause the U.S. stock market futures to shoot up 1.1% in pre-market trading.
