Tobacco industry in Pakistan is a major employment provider in farming, manufacturing, distribution, and retail in Pakistan. [1] Most of the agricultural cultivation is based in Charsadda District, Mardan District, Nowshera District, and Swabi District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. [2]
Tobacco is grown on 0.25 percent of irrigated land in Pakistan. As of 2016, 34,000 hectares were under cultivation which fell from 43,000 hectares a few years ago. [3]
Around 60 percent of market share is held by Pakistan Tobacco Company and Philip Morris Pakistan. [4] Annually, nearly 160,000 lives are lost in Pakistan due to tobacco consumption. [5]
