Due to the cultivation characteristics of leaf tobacco, seeds are not sown directly in the field but grown as seedlings in a nursery facility and then transplanted. This is an important process that determines the yield for the year. Since 2009, KT&G has been conducting volunteer activities for 13 years to assist farms struggling to secure labor and to pass on know-how for producing high-quality leaf tobacco.
