Flue-cured constitutes the bulk of Canada’s tobacco exports. Exports of flue-cured ranged from 35.6 million 
pounds to 41.3 million during the 3 years 1965 through 1967, representing 21-28 percent of total flue-cured 
production. The United Kingdom took 80-83 percent of Canada’s exports in this period. Canadian tobacco receives 
the Commonwealth Preference, which was equivalent to 21.5 cents per pound before the United Kingdom devalued 
its currency.

Currently, about 2.5 million pounds of burley are used by Canadian manufacturers per year. 
Canada’s exports of burley tobacco have ranged from 4.7 million pounds to 8.8 million pounds during the last 5 
years. Prices of burley exports, which averaged about 56 cents for 8 years, increased to 63.4 cents in 1966 and 78.4 
cents in 1967. Information on the reason for the sharp upturn in prices, especially in 1967, is not available. The 
United Kingdom is the largest buyer of Canadian burley.
