J. B. Hutson, president of To
bacco Associates, Inc. is now in
the Far East on a round-the-world
tour in the interest of pro
moting flue-cured tobacco sales
in foreign countries.
Hutson was in Bangkok, Thai
land last week for his eighth
stop in a three:month study of
consumption trends and to check
on market development pro
grams being sponsored by Tobac
co Associates and other trade
groups;, also to investigate the
programs in additional countries.
Announcement of Hutson's pro
gress was made here this week
by JLacy T. Weeks, the organiza
tion's director of field service.
Weeks stated that "based upon
income per acre and land values
upon which tobacco Is grown, a
foreign market ffor one ,million
pounds of our tobacco, if -we can
hold it, is worth about two mil
lion dollars to growers."
Reprting on the Thailand mar
ket development program. . Hut
son, said that county is now con
suming over 10 fe-iillion pounds
of U. S. Cue-cured tobacco an?
nually, compared with 8 million
waen the program began three
years ago. He said that Gold
City, a brand containing 100 per
cent U. b. tobacco, is the brand
Deing pushed most extensively
under the program at this time.
While in France, Hutson repo
rted the signing of a contract
continuing the sales promotion
program of locally made cigaret
tes containing American leaf.
France, an important consumer
of tobacco products, increased ci
garette production last year by
seven per cent over the previous
year.
During a five-day stop in Bur
ma, Hutson met with local tobac
co manufacturers for the purpose
of working out a sales promotion
program for locally made ciga
rettes containing US tobacco. He
found the political and economic
climates stabilized and substan
tial Improvement id- prospect.
"It i believed," he stated, "that
if conditions continue to improve
in tne near future as they have
in the recent past, it is a poten
tially' good market for limited
fmount-pf iHtVi'-'-A''
- Until r few months ago the no-
litical and economic conditions in
Burma were most -unsettled."
