Скачать или смотреть China - Domestic tobacco industry

(24 Aug 1997) T/I 10:42:19


In Yunnan Province in southwestern China, farmers have worked
the land for centuries. But what used to be subsistance farming
growing the food they and those around them needed to live -
has in many cases been replaced by cash crops.
Chief among them is tobacco. Many farmers are using as much as
75 percent of their land to plant it.
