Tobacco occupies an important place among cash crops grown in India. It is cultivated in a meagre area of 4 lakh ha which constitutes 0.27 per cent of the total arable land in the country. The production, on an average, touches 700 million kg of cured leaf annually. On global basis, India ranks first in respect of non-FCV tobacco production and fifth in area under FCV tobacco. West Bengal occupies an important place in the tobacco map of the country under non-FCV tobacco, i.e., chewing type of tobacco.

Tobacco occupies an important place among cash crops grown in India. It is cultivated in a meagre area of 4 lakh ha which constitutes 0.27 per cent of the total arable land in the country. The production, on an average, touches 700 million kg of cured leaf annually. On global basis, India ranks first in respect of non-FCV tobacco production and fifth in area under FCV tobacco. West Bengal occupies an important place in the tobacco map of the country under non-FCV tobacco, i.e., chewing type of tobacco.
