Tobacco Industry

Brazil is the world's largest producer of tobacco, with production concentrated mainly in the southern region of the country, due to favorable weather conditions. Thousands of small producers supply many processing plants that use the leaves of tobacco for cigarette production and derivatives. In addition, Brazil exports to dozens of other countries. The recent adoption of RFID in tobacco processing sections brought full traceability on each bale of tobacco, identifying the producer, origin, type and weight among other information.
