ABSTRACT
This term paper provides details about the tobacco industry that occupies a prime place in the Indian economy on account of its considerable contribution to the agricultural, industrial and export sectors. India is the second largest producer of tobacco in the world. My term paper also witnesses the changes in production, export and import of tobacco in our country on the basis of market share, yield per hectare, area of cultivation, population, and wholesale price index. It also covers the history of the industry, the initiatives taken by the Indian Government against the tobacco industry, the challenges and problems faced and the growth prospects of this industry. The research has been done on the basis of the various journals and the research papers. My term paper even stresses on the numerous problems faced by the tobacco industry in its day to day working which in turn challenges its survival like the manufacturing, particularly of bidis, is also a source of employment and hence of income for a large number of people. Thus any attempts to control the use of tobacco would need to take into account the economic impact on these sectors.

INTRODUCTION
(CH. 1)
Tobacco is an agro based product processed from the fresh leaves of plants in genus Nicotiana'. Tobacco is widely available for sale in dried and cured forms and is often smoked (tobacco in the form of a cigar or cigarette, or in a smoking pipe, or in a water pipe or a hookah. Tobacco can also be chewed, or sniffed into the nose in the form of powdered snuff). The term tobacco industry connotes to those companies engaged in the growth, preparation for sale, shipment, advertisement, and distribution of tobacco and tobacco-related products. All the methods of consumption of tobacco result in the absorption of nicotine in varying amounts into the user's blood stream. Prolonged use of tobacco or tobacco products may result in significant risks of developing various cancers as well as strokes, and severe cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Chewing tobacco has been a tradition in India for centuries. Of the total amount of tobacco produced in the country, around 48% is in the form of chewing tobacco, 38% as bidis, and only 14% as cigarettes. Thus, bidis, snuff and chewing tobacco (such as gutka, khaini and zarda) form the bulk (86%) of India's total tobacco production. In the rest of the world, production of cigarettes is 90% of total production of tobacco related products. Tobacco is a principal cash crop of National importance. It has been playing a prominent role in the development of Nation's Economy. Although the cultivation of Tobacco is restricted to 0.3% of the total cultivated area, it provides employment to large number of people on the one hand. On the other hand, it makes significant contribution to National Exchequer by way of excise revenue and foreign exchange earnings. Tobacco being a labour intensive crop provides employment to more than 60 lakhs people who are engaged in the farming curing, redrying, packaging, grading, manufacturing distribution, export and retailing activities. The bidi industry which provides employment to around 44.00 lakhs essentially unskilled rural folks mostly women is also arresting the influx of rural labour to urban centers. The per capita consumption of cigarettes in India is merely a tenth of the world average. This unique tobacco consumption pattern is a combination of tradition and more importantly the tax imposed on cigarettes over the last 2 decades. Cigarette smokers pay almost 85% of the total tax revenues generated from tobacco. India ranks 4th in the total tobacco consumption in the world. But India's cigarette consumption ranks 11th in the world.
is flue-cured tobacco suitable for cigarette manufacturing. In India, three major cigarette players dominate the market, primarily ITC with 72% market share, Godfrey Phillips with 12% and VST with 8% share of the market.
OBJECTIVES
(CH. 1.1)
The primary objective of this dissertation is to study and analyze the growth of the tobacco industry. The study envisions bringing into light the phases of the growth of the Indian tobacco industry and how this growth has benefited India when it comes to revenue generation, employment generation, etc. To analyze the major players of the market. A study on the Indian Tobacco industry with special reference to its production and exports.
SCOPE OF STUDY
(CH. 1.2)
The opportunities for productivity enhancement in tobacco growing would appear to be more limited than those in the tobacco industry. Tobacco growing will thus continue to occupy many people. But how their number will develop in the future is hard to say with precision. Stagnant demand for tobacco makes it likely that, worldwide, the number will go down. Just where this will occur depends on the circumstances of each country and region. People involved in the production of high quality tobaccos at competitive cost of the type for which demand prospects are good would appear to be in a more favorable position than others hopefully. But whatever changes do take place, they are bound to occur slowly. Given an opportunity I would really like to extend my term paper to a full project so that I can find out with my research as to what is in store for this industry in the near changing future and how does it effect our Indian economy on the basis of excise revenue and export generation.

annual production is around 700 crore bidis. India exported 5,800 kg of beedies valued at Rs. 3.2 crores in 1975-76 to Asian, African and European countries. Crushed and dried tobacco is wrapped in tendu leaves and rolled into a beedi. Beedis are smaller in size than the regular company-made cigarettes so more beedis are smoked to achieve the desired feeling caused by nicotine. Beedi smokers are at least at an equal risk of developing cancers as cigarette smokers due to use of smoked tobacco. Beedi making is a source of livelihood for many families. In some families, everyone including children helps make bedis. The frequent inhalation of tobacco lakes has similar effects as the actual use of the tobacco product. Therefore, these families have an increased risk of lung diseases and cancers of the digestive tract. And, addiction is common among these families. Hookah Hookah smoking involves a device that heats the tobacco and passes it through water before it is inhaled. It is not a safer way to use tobacco. The use of hookah was once on the decline, but it has increased in recent years. Hookah is thought to be a sign of royalty and prestige and is available in high priced coffee shops in flavours like apple, strawberry, and chocolate. It is marketed as a "safe" recreational activity, but it is not safe and is increasingly used by college students of both sexes. Use of tobacco in this form can result in tobacco addiction. Chutta smoking and reverse chutta smoking Chuttas are coarse tobacco cigars that are smoked in the coastal areas of India. Reverse chutta smoking involves keeping the burning end of the chutta in the mouth and inhaling it. This practice increases the chance of oral cancer. Cheroot Tamil Nadu (Chennai and Tiruchchirappalli) is important for cheroot industry in the country. The industry utilises superior quality tobacco mostly obtained from Tiruchchirappalli district of Tamil Nadu. The average annual production is about 2,500 crore cheroots. Hookah Tobacco It is an important smoke for rural folk in North India. There are two types of hookah tobacco: (i) mitha, and (ii) kadwa which are prepared by mixing the cured tobacco leaves with jelly obtained from semi-used molasses. Delhi, Lucknow, Gorakhpur and Rampur are important centers of manufacturing hookah tobacco. Tobacco or tobacco-containing products are chewed or sucked as a quid, or applied to gums, or inhaled. Khaini This is one of the most common methods of chewing tobacco. Dried tobacco leaves are crushed and mixed with slaked lime and chewed as a quid. The practice of keeping the quid in the mouth between the cheeks and gums causes most cancers of the gums, the most common mouth cancer.

Gutkha This is rapidly becoming the most popular form of chewed tobacco in India. It is very popular among teenagers and children because it is available in small packets (convenient for a single use), uses flavouring agents and scents, and is inexpensive (as low as Re 1/-). Gutkha consists of areca nut (betel nut) pieces coated with powdered tobacco, flavouring agents, and other secret ingredients that increase the addiction potential. Gutkha use is responsible for increased cases of oral cancers and other disorders of the mouth and teeth in young adults. Paan with tobacco The main ingredients of paan are the betel leaf, areca nut (supari), slaked lime (chuna), and catechu (katha). Sweets and other condiments can also be added. The varieties of paan are named for the different strengths of tobacco in it. Some people think that chewing paan without tobacco is harmless, but this is not true. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has established that people who chew both the betel leaf and the areca nut have a higher risk of damaging their gums and having cancers of the mouth, pharynx their gums and having cancers of the mouth, pharynx, oesophagus, and stomach. Paan masala Paan masala is a commercial preparation containing the areca nut, slaked lime, catechu, and condiments, with or without powdered tobacco. It comes in attractive sachets and tins, which are easy to carry and store. The tobacco powder and areca nut are responsible for oral cancers in those who use these products a lot. Mawa This is a combination of areca nut pieces, scented tobacco, and slaked lime that is mixed on the spot and chewed as a quid. The popularity of mawa and its ability to cause cancer matches that of gutkha. Its use is rising among teenagers and young adults in India. Mishri, gudakhu and toothpastes These preparations are popular because people believe incorrectly that tobacco in the product is a germicidal chemical that helps in cleaning teeth. Mishri is roasted tobacco powder that is applied as a toothpowder. Mishri users often become addicted and start applying it as pastime. Gudakhu is a paste of tobacco and sugar molasses. These preparations are commonly used by women and involve direct application of tobacco to the gums, thus increasing the risk of cancer of the gums. Tobacco-containing toothpastes, which are promoted as antibacterial pastes, are popular among children. This habit often becomes an addiction, and the children graduate to other forms of tobacco, thus increasing their chance for cancers.

Dry Snuf This is a mixture of dried tobacco powder and some scented chemicals. It is inhaled and is common in the elderly population of India. Snuf is responsible for cancers of the nose and jaw. Chewing Tobacco Zarda, Qiwami, Danedar, Pan Masala are the important varieties of chewing tobaccos available in the market. To make chewing tobacco leaves are soaked in the lime water, dried, mixed with scents and chemicals. Recently chewing pan masala is gaining popularity in youngsters and lower section of the society both in urban and rural areas. The harmful chemicals used in such pan masalas have increased the occurrence of deadly mouth and throat diseases including cancer. Delhi, Kanpur, Lucknow and Varanasi are main centers. The Central Tobacco Research Institute, Rajahmundry conducts fundamental research on tobacco. Similarly there are specialised research institutes for cigarette at Guntur, for Bidi at Anand, for cigar and cheroot at Dindigul, for chewing tobacco at Pusa (Bihar), and for hookah and snuff tobacco at Firozpur.

ITC will be able maintain margins: IIFL Wealth (Economics Times Aug 17, 2012, 10.43AM IST, senior fund manager|Prashastha Seth|ITC Ltd.|ITC|India Infoline|IIFL Wealth|et now , In a chat with ET Now, Prashastha Seth, Senior Fund Manager, IIFL Wealth, India Infoline, shares his views on ITC.)
Page | 12
ET Now: What do you make of yesterday's selling in ITC, the fact that IDFC has come out with a report and they clearly indicated that the global tobacco industry is currently going through a rough patch and Indian tobacco industry will follow that same path? Prashastha Seth: Our view is slightly different. Our view is that in India 70% of the sales happen in the loose forms, so I do not think there will be a big impact of the pictorial warnings, if and when they come in India on sales of ITC. What we are seeing is that the sales in terms of volumes continuing to be flattish and that is what we expect going forward as well. But we believe that companies like ITC will be able to raise prices and maintain their margins. So to that extent, we would not be as worried on the outlook of the company has, what the report yesterday would suggest.
China would buy large quantity of tobacco from India:Kamalvardhan Rao (Times Of India Oct 4, 2011, 12.35am IST, Tobacco Board|Kamalvardhan Rao|China )
GUNTUR: Tobacco Board chairman Kamalvardhan Rao on Tuesday exuded confidence that China would buy a large quantity of the commodity from India. Addressing mediapersons after his three-day extensive tour of China, Rao said he was happy that China was showing interest in Indian tobacco.China, which produced 2,300 million kgs of tobacco, needs more of the commodity for internal consumption and Indian tobacco mixes well with their tobacco, he said. "That is why China prefers Indian tobacco," he said adding, that a Chinese trade delegation would visit India in a couple of months.Rao said though India exported 800 million kgs of tobacco valued at Rs 4,400 crore in 2010-2011, this year there may be slight decline in the exports.

LITERATURE REVIEWED
Research Papers
(CH.2.1)
According to Tobacco use in India: prevalence and predictors of smoking and chewing in a national cross sectional household survey by Rani M, Bonu S, Jha P, Nguyen SN, Jamjoum L published in the year 2003 the main objective of the research was to estimate the prevalence and the socioeconomic and demographic correlates of tobacco consumption in India. The conclusion of the research was an agenda to improve health outcomes among the poor in India must include effective interventions to control tobacco use. Failure to do so would most likely result in doubling the burden of diseases-both communicable and noncommunicable-among India's teeming poor. It even stated that there is a need for periodical surveys using more consistent definitions of tobacco use and eliciting information on different types of tobacco consumed. The study also suggested a need to adjust the prevalence estimates based on household informants.
According to The economics of global tobacco control by Prabhat Jha, senior scientist and Frank J Chaloupka, professor of economics published on 5th August, 2000 , the aim of the research was the economics of the global tobacco usage and control. The outcome of the research was that the threat posed by smoking to global health is unprecedented, but so is the potential for preventing millions of smoking related deaths with highly effective policies. A comprehensive tobacco control policy is not likely to harm economies and is required to be made in near future.
According to the Global and regional estimates of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of price increases and other tobacco control policies by M. Kent Ranson, Prabhat Jha, Frank J. Chaloupka, Son N. Nguyen published in Received 7 May 2001: accepted 13 August 2001, the objective of this study was to provide conservative estimates of the global and regional effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of tobacco control policies, using a static model of the cohort of smokers alive in 1995, they estimated the number of smoking-attributable deaths that could be averted by: (1) price increases, (2) nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), and (3) a package of non-price interventions other than NRT. The conclusion of this paper was that tobacco control is cost-effective relative to other health interventions. The analyses suggest that tax increases would be cost-effective. Non-price measures are also cost-effective in many settings. Measures to liberalize access to NRT, for example, by changing the conditions for its sale, are likely to be cost-effective in most settings. However, individual countries would need to make careful assessments before deciding to provide subsidies for NRT and other cessation interventions for poor smokers. As with all cost-effectiveness analyses, there estimates were a subject to considerable variation in actual settings, notably in costs. Thus,
Page | 15
the conclusion even stated that local cost effectiveness studies were required to guide local policy.
According to Women, Tobacco, and Cancer: An Agenda for the 21st Century Working Group by U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute published in July 2004, the research was conducted to develope a better understanding of the biological, psychological, and behavioral mechanisms and processes associated with womens and mens responses to nicotine exposure. It further believed that it was critical to develop a better prevention and cessation interventions for addiction and to prevent and treat tobacco-related cancers. The conclusion of this research was that the spectrum of tobacco control and prevention disciplines should be implemented. Greater emphasis must be placed on translating knowledge into effective program and policy interventions that can be applied to all populations, especially populations of women at greatest risk for tobacco use and tobacco-caused disease. It even suggested the reduction, and ultimately elimination of tobacco use and tobacco-caused disease among women is possible.
According to Research on Tobacco in India (Including Betel Quid and Areca Nut) by Cecily Stewart Ray, Prakash Gupta and Joy de Beyer published in August 2003, the research was conducted to show the impact of tobacco on youth in general and children, on the fact that many youngsters resort to smoking and intake of tobacco because of severe peer pressure and social obligations. The research further focuses on the teachings in schools and colleges, the prevailing environment and surrounding which increases the intake of tobacco. The conclusion of the research was the believe that intake of tobacco can be reduced if health education on the dangers of tobacco was provided. Furthermore it stressed on the fact that counseling should be provided at all levels. Regular campaigns should be held to aware the society specially the rural people about the ill effects of tobacco.

Manufacturing, particularly of bidis, is also a source of employment and hence of income for a large number of people. Thus any attempts to control the use of tobacco would need to take into account the economic impact on these sectors.
Tobacco industrys continuous resistance to strong tobacco control laws or regulations. Violation of Add ban through: (a)Surrogate methods (Red & White Bravery Awards-GPI) (b)Brand stretching (Wills Life Style Apparel-ITC) (c) Sponsorship of events (Formula 1 news in print media-Marlboro) Violation of ban on smoking in public places due to: (a) Lack of awareness among stakeholders (managers of restaurants, hotels etc.) (b) Low compliance levels among the management of public places (c) Low motivation at Health Ministries at State Level Violation of provision allowing point-of-sale advertisement (a) Display board specifications being violated (b) Health warning area specified on this board has been reduced by the industry

TABLE 1: Excise Revenue (Rs. In Millions) for the year 1960 to 2011 GRAPH 1: Excise Revenue (Rs. In Millions) for the year 1960 to 2011 Observation: Positive sloping curve which is increasing at an increasing rate, but the excise revenue is increasing at a faster rate than the increase of the export revenue. Furthermore, there is a constant increase from the year 1960 to 2011 (the highest being Rs. 14804 million in the year 2010-2011).
TABLE 1.1: Export Revenue (Rs. In Millions) for the year 1960 to 2011 GRAPH 1.1: Export Revenue (Rs. In Millions) for the year 1960 to 2011
Observation: Positive sloping curve with a steep positive sloping curve from the year 1990-1991 to 2010-211. There is a major difference over a span of 51 years the highest being Rs.16050 crore and lowest being Rs. 160 million. As compared to the excise revenue , export revenue is also increasing at an increasing rate but with a lower intensity.
TABLE 1.2: Area (1000 Hectares) for the year 1960 to 2011 GRAPH 1.2: Area (1000 Hectares) for the year 1960 to 2011 Observation : The graph showing the area of production of tobacco over the span of last 51 years from 1960 to 2011 clearly indicates variation over the year. The graph is not constant with fluctuations over the years for eg. Firstly, it increases (1961-1970) , remains constant (1971-1981) and further decreases (1981-1990). It is also been clearly observed that there is a heavy downfall in the area ( hectares) for the year 1991 to 2000 , difference being 120,000 hectares.
TABLE 1.3: Production (Million Kgs) for the year 1960 to 2011 GRAPH 1.3: Production (Million Kgs) for the year 1960 to 2011 Observation: It is observed that there is constant fluctuation in the graph which depicts production of tobacco represented in million Kgs.While production increases from the year 1960-1991 there is a major downfall in the year 1991 to 2001. Following the year of major downfall, there is increase in production from 2001 to 2011 which is 210million kgs.

TABLE 1.4: AREA, PRODUCTION, EXCISE & EXPORT REVENUES FOR THE YEAR 1960 TO 2011 GRAPH 1.4: AREA, PRODUCTION, EXCISE & EXPORT REVENUES FOR THE YEAR 1960 TO 2011 Observation: The graph shows that excise revenue is increasing at an increasing rate, but the it is increasing at a faster rate than the increase of the export revenue. Whereas for the export revenue there is a major difference over a span of 51 years the highest being Rs.16050 crore and
lowest being Rs. 160 million. As compared to the excise revenue, export revenue is also increasing at an increasing rate but with a lower intensity. The graph even shows the area of production of
tobacco which firstly increases (1961-1970), secondly remains constant (1971-1981) and thirdly decreases (1981-1990). It is also been clearly observed that there is a heavy downfall in the area ( hectares) for the year 1991 to 2000 , difference being 120,000 hectares. In Production it is observed that there is constant fluctuation in the graph. Following the year of major downfall in 1991 to 2001, there is increase in production from 2001 to 2011 which is 210million kgs.
TABLE 2: Production ( Million Kg ) and Export ( Million Kg ) for the year 1999 to 2010 GRAPH 2: Production (Million Kg) and Export (Million Kg) for the year 1999 to 2010
Observation : The graph shows a comparison between production of tobacco and export of the produced tobacco in million kilograms for the ten years period from 1999 to 2010. For the first five years of observation, it has been observed that the production is not constant as it keeps on increasing and decreasing. For the last five years of observation, it is clearly depicted that the exports are increasing a faster rate than the production, being production almost constant from the 2007 to 2009 and again increasing in the following year. Increase in export quantity (mill kg) is much higher than the increase in the production of tobacco. Comparison between the production (mill kg) of tobacco and its export (mill kg) shows that over 10 years exports has increased by 79% which is more than double the increase of the production which is 37%.
TABLE 3: Production (Million Kg) and Yield (Kg per Hectare) for the year 1999 to 2010 GRAPH 3: Production (Million Kg) and Yield (Kg per Hectare) for the year 1999 to 2010
Observation: With the reference to table no. 3 and the graph no. 3, we can observe that the production is not constant since 1999 to 2010, it keeps increasing decreasing or remain constant. In comparison to production the yield per hectare even fluctuates. From 1999 to 2001 the production has decreased but the yield per hectare has increased. From 2001 to 2005 yield per hectare and production are proportionate which is whenever the production is increasing the yield per hectare is increasing and vice versa. But again from the year 2005 to 2006 the yield per hectare has decreased regardless of the increase in production. From 2005 to 2009 the production is constant but the yield per hectare has Page | 19
decreased first and then increased n remain constant for the last two years (2008 and 2009). In the last year of observation (2009 to 2010) the yield has increased and there is also increase in production. Production (mill kg) increase over the 10 years is less than the increase in yield (kg/hectare). The yield per hectare of tobacco has increased from 1210 kg/hectare to 1800kg/hectare which is about 48% increase and is higher than increase in production (mill kg) which is 37%. As per the figure one can make out that there is no significant relation among the two variables.
TABLE 4: Production (Million Kg) and CigaretteProuction (In Million Pieces) for the year 1999 to 2010 GRAPH 4: Production (Million Kg) and Cigarette Prouction (In Million Pieces) for the year 1999 to 2010
Observation: With reference to table no. 4 and graph no. 4 we can clearly state that with the increase in production of tobacco there has been always an increase in the production of cigarette. Except for the year 2001to2002 in which though the production of tobacco increased but the production of cigarette decreased.
TABLE 5: Production (Million Kg) and Wholesale Price Index for the year 1999 to 2010 GRAPH 5: Production (Million Kg) and Wholesale Price Index for the year 1999 to 2010 Observation : With reference to table no. 5 and graph no. 5 it can be observed that the wholesale price index of tobacco has 2/3rd increase over the decade as compared to production increase which is less than half. It even shows the comparison between the production (mill kg) of tobacco and its wholesale price index that over 10 years WPI has increased by 77% which is more than double the increase of the production which is 37%.
TABLE 6: Production (Million Kg) and Area Under Cultivation (Million Hectare) for the year 1999 to 2010 Observation: With reference to table no. 6 we can observe that production has increased from 524million kgs to 720million kgs but astonishingly the area under has decreased 0.43million hectare to 0.36million hectare.

TABLE 7: Production (Million Kg) and Taxes for the year 1999 to 2010 GRAPH 6: Production (Million Kg) and Taxes for the year 1999 to 2010 Observation: With reference to table no.7 and graph no.6, we can observe that production has increased by 37% and taxes have increased by 76% which is more than double. There has been a constant increase in the taxes with the increase in the production till 2005 but after 2005 the taxes have been lowed with constant production. Similarly, the taxes have started to rise again after 2008 till 2010 with production even increasing.
TABLE 8: Production (Million Kg) and Population for the year 1999 to 2010
Observation: With reference to table no.8, we can observe that population is always increasing a greater speed than the production of tobacco; earlier the production was fluctuating with increase in population. In the years 2005 to 2009 the production has remain constant though the population has increased.
TABLE 9: Production (Million Kg) and Per Capita Income ($) for the year 1999 to 2010 GRAPH 7: Production (Million Kg) and Per Capita Income ($) for the year 1999 to 2010 Observation: Shows a comparison between the production (mill kg) of tobacco and the per capita income (in $) shows that over 10 years (1999-2010) production has increased by 37% but the latter has increased more than 5 times.

Observation: With reference to table no.10 and graph no.8, we can observe that in the year 2000-2001 and similarly in the year 2002-2003 thought the production decreased but the cost of production has increased in both cases. From 2004 onwards the cost of production had been always increasing despite on production being constant in the years 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009.

Conclusions
(CH.5)
Tobacco occupies a prime place in the Indian economy on account of its considerable contribution to the agricultural, industrial and export sectors. India is the third-largest tobacco exporter in the world. India is exporting tobacco in more than 80 nations, over all continents. There is a constant increase in the excise revenue from the year 1960 to 2011 (the highest being Rs. 14804 million in the year 2010-2011).
As compared to the excise revenue, export revenue is also increasing at an increasing rate but with a lower intensity. The yield per hectare of tobacco has increased from 1210 kg/hectare to 1800kg/hectare which is about 48% increase and is higher than increase in production (mill kg) which is 37%. Wholesale price index of tobacco has 2/3rd increase over the decade as compared to
ITC has more than 50% share of total production and sales amongst the top four companies
Maximum market share is with ITC (72%) followed by Godfrey Phillips (12%) and VST and GTC (8%) each, when taken into account the top four companies of Indian Tobacco Industry.
At present the Indian Tobacco Industry is providing livelihood to more that 25 million people
by indulging them in tobacco production and distribution across the country.

RECOMMENDATIONS (CH.6)
Tobacco industry is one of the few industries which earn India a good amount of revenue and foreign earnings. Hence it should be taken care of as India is one of the major exporters of tobacco in the world. There is a huge demand for Indian tobacco in the world and as we have seen and concluded from the research production is an important factor of exports, hence it should be seen that the production is enough so that it can be exported. Cost of cultivation and cost of production together constitute the price of tobacco and both are significant factors for the industry, therefore they should be kept in control so as to maintain competitiveness in the world market. The Indian tobacco farmers are paid very less as compared to other countries. Steps should be taken to improve this situation as it leads to decrease in efficiency. The major manufacturers must devise cost effective export strategies for increased revenue and success. The government should take proper steps to see that it warns its customers of the ill effects of the consumption of tobacco but at the same time should see the sales and exports does not pay price for that.
LIMITATIONS
This research has faced a lot of limitations due to time, words and resource constraints.
No primary data has been collected, the research has been based on secondary data due to which the facts and figures used may vary and might not be that accurate too. Secondly, the Indian tobacco industry is a huge industry and therefore all aspects of the industry cannot be covered properly. The focus was mainly on the exports and production of tobacco and the various factors affecting it. Certain area like taxation and consumption could not be covered due to lack of time and resources. Thirdly, literature review had to be covered in a very precise manner to avoid overshooting of word limit. This restriction also had affect on other sections of the project.
