Japan Tobacco recently announced that it will adjust the average purchase price of domestic tobacco leaves in 2024 to 1,856.62 yen per kilogram (1 yen is approximately RMB 0.05).
As Japanese tobacco farmers' production efficiency has improved and output has increased, the purchase price of tobacco leaves has dropped for the first time in eight years. Last year, the average purchase price of Japanese tobacco leaves was 1,924.15 yen per kilogram.
