The Nishinippon Shimbun reports that Kyushu tobacco farmers are struggling to such an extent that many will give up the crop. The farmers have been battered by a combination of declining cigarette sales and higher taxes on cigarettes. Of the 3,104 households in the region that grow leaf tobacco as a cash crop, 1,299 as of now say they intend to stop cultivation next year.
