Golden Leaf, Barren Harvest: The Costs of Tobacco Farming (Dec 2001)
Report by the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids published in December 2001. Examines the economic, social and environmental cost of tobacco farming in developing countries. Makes the case that the rapid growth of tobacco farming in the developing world encouraged and facilitated by the tobacco industry has not brought with it the promised economic benefits. The report details the many serious economic and environmental costs associated with tobacco cultivation that the tobacco companies have tried to gloss over. These include:
* Chronic indebtedness among tobacco farmers (usually to the companies
themselves).
* The diversion of land previously used for growing food to grow tobacco.
* New technologies employed by the companies, which reduce the amount of tobacco used per cigarette.
* Manipulation by the tobacco companies of the grading system which has led to lower prices for farmers.
* Serious environmental destruction caused by tobacco farming, particularly the massive deforestation caused by tobacco curing.
* An increase in pesticide-related health problems for farmers and their families.
