Dear all, I think this is a good step forward about the CTC. Below is the process of Tobacco. Story of the Tobaccoprocessing firm For producing the tobacco, for his changing and for his primary processing he has more than 130 year traditions on Szolnok. The story of the firm which can be traced back to the end of the 1860 years, since he and its single plants already existed or they were being built following it, in year 1867, creation of the Indepedent Hungarian tobacco inland revenue. The Szolnok Tobaccochanging firm received an inspectorate rank in 1890 in the self-determinated Hungarian tobacco inland revenue organism. The tobaccochanging firms took shape according to districts, to landscapes of the tobacco raisers. Virginia leads to a turn in the industrial processing of the production for the growing of tobacco his acclimatisation and the introduction of the artificial drying. Between 1955 and 1957 with a capacity of 3.000 tons mechanical fermenting firm was developed on Szolnok and its capacity was doubled in 1966. In 1978 a new investment was installed. It secured yearly 8 000 tons production possibility and this steming production line could improve the quality of row material, coming into tobaccoplants. In 1989 the new installed selecting line, the finished goods press, the tobacco silos and modern laboratory made the opportunity for the achievement of the European standard of the tobacco processing. The reconstruction started after ten years made the Szolnok firm catch up with the forefront of the continent again. The than Agricultural and Food Industry Ministry, the firm's legal predecessor, founded it according to trust frameworks in 1st of January 1971 as state company. An indepentent smallholder became with the stopping of Tobaccoindustrial Trust in 1980 and from this date worked longer as Tobaccofermentile Corporation. On the trace of law regulation of Tobaccofermentile Company it was transformed into a share company in 1st of July 1993. The new company came into legal successor of Tobaccofermentile Company. His founder and his 77,51% proprietor was the Agency of State Properties, while the local goverments possessed fundamentally the remaining shares. The share company's privatisation was invited by the Agency of State Properties in 1995. in the framework of a public application. But in the deficiency of the valid offer the competing fruitlessly ended. The tobaccoprocess firm's production decreased rapidly on the time of privatisational attempts started after his firming as share company. Between 1992 and 1996 the Tobaccoprocess Corporation lost his producer's confidence and his markets. Continental Tobaccoindustrie Corporation accross organised Domestic Tobacco Consortium privatized the company successfully in 1997, it reorganised the firm's producing background under two years. The reorganisation affected the plant breeding, where modern floated tray seedling educator settlements were established, the tobacco growing, where modern, ploughman devices got to shopping, or the tobaccoprocessor, where the processing the full renovation of a production line got to the setting of new machines. In 1999 already 2000 tons of tobacco were produced, processed and sold. The firm provides from year to year living for thousand of families, consulting and provides credit opportunities to them. The share company, which integrates currently 25 % of domestic tobacco production, has primarily his domestic market considerable, but strengthens the market of an exports since Hungary's European Union accession.
The history of Szolnok Tobaccoprocessing For producing the tobacco, for his changing and for his primary processing more, than 130 of his year stories onto the end of the 1860 years steerable back, since the Tobaccoprocess Corporation his legal predecessor's single firms the 1867. year creation of the independent Hungarian Tobacco Inland Revenue already were done, or they were being built following it. In the Hungarian Tobacco Inland Revenue Organism received an inspectiorate rank in 1890. the Szolnok Tobaccochanging firm. The Tobaccochanging firms took shape according to landscapes and districts and from the 1930 years starting the tobacco leaf in heated depositories, in stacks placing processed. Virginia leads to a turn in the industrial processing of the tobacco for the growing of tobacco his acclimatisation, the artificial drying and the introduction of mechanical processing. The Szolnok Tobaccochanging firm's area between 1955. and 1957. year with a capacity of 3.000 tons mechanical processing firm was developed, of which capacity was increased twofold in 1966. Due to additional developments in 1978 a new investment was installed. It secured yearly 8 000 tons production possibility and this stalking production line could improve the quality of row material, coming into tobaccoplants. In 1989 the new installed selecting line, the finished goods press, the tobacco silos and modern laboratory made the opportunity for the achievement of the European standard of the tobacco processing. After the privatisation realized, 1999. year reconstruction of the Szolnok mechanical processing firm made to catch up with the forefront of the continent again. Activity of DOFER Corporation The production of the tobacco, his processing and his realization in the past more, than 100 years, closed in 1990. happened in a system directed uniformly. The participants of the tobacco sector performed their tasks well delimited. The tasks of tobaccochangers and processors were the organised producing of tobacco, his compiling, his primary processing, and his storage. The Tobaccoprocessing Corporation pursues his activity according to integrated market regulations, which conforms to traditions. Producing the tobacco, his acquisition and processing the finished goods stockpiling and realization means its basic activity. The employer researches being linked to the biological bases of the tobacco growing are attached to the basic activity tightly and the technical development activities being aimed at the improvement of the technology. Producing the tobacco and his acquisition With the quality being equal to the tobacco factory claims and quantity is possible to manufacture tobaccos on the country's different areas. The tobacco exceptionally labour intensive plant, because of this the tobacco growing by many producers, and happens on his plantation with a relatively little area. Because of this the tobacco producers' integration, the champing of his production is the indispensable task of tobaccoproduction. Producing the tobacco building upon contracts only possible, because of the safety of the production. According to qualitative parameters are necessary to organize the production with a uniform view in the interest of insurance. It is necessary to limit the usage of the utilizable chemicals because of technological and differing hygienic considerations, so their application demands increased checking. In the course of producing the tobacco DOFER Zrt. harmonises these producing requirements in that manner, that the end product manufactured by the producers should meet the requirements. The economic background of the tobacco producing, DOFER Zrt. favours it with various natural and financial advances. The tobacco processing The raw tobacco produced by the producers is not suitable for consumption, it is not possible to manufacture a tobacco product with a suitable quality, from it. The dried tobacco does not burn well, the fragrance of his smoke, his flavour, his general effect is raw, spicy, scratch-off, unsettled. To let him, be suitable for a delight aim, has to go through a fermentation process. Fermenting is the comprehensive name for the changes, that make the tobacco, which can be used. In the course of the fermentation, chemistry, microbiological and enzyme processes in the colour of the tobacco leaf, in his fragrance, in his light bulb ability, in his elasticity, his storable, regulated changes are yielded. Among the different fermenting methods, today already the so-called mechanical fermenting is the accepted one. This does not mean something else, than the treatment of the raw tobacco according to suitable technological orders, that on his row the different constituents in the tobacco substances (carbohydrate, volatile oil, resin, nicotine, mineral etc.) partly decay, they are transformed, they become stable in quantity and in combination. The preparation of the fermentation process during the mechanical fermenting - the forming of the even moisture content, the removal of the volatile substances, the starting of the substance decompositions because of the tall temperature - occurs quickly and after the treatment the tobacco fermenting may begin. Of course longer time is necessary to getting homogenized of this content, so, because of this the fermented tobaccos only after longer resting are expedient to use. DOFER Zrt. during processing of the tobacco, taken over the selected dried tobacco substances from the producers, grouping into classes of the raw tobacco (type, break zone, colour, texture quality, nicotine content, etc.), lets them across his modern, mechanical equipments. In the course of an operation of mechanical processing the disk parts of the tobacco leaves we detach from the midship frame and after heat treatment with high-performance presses of 200 kgs weight we wrap it into cartons. After ten days warmfermentiling process, which happens at least in a place with 20oC , the finished goods get into the container depository. The head vein and the tiny leaf parts arising in the course of the processing and following separate treatments, can be utilized in the tobacco products. The storage of the tobacco and his realization The Tobaccoprocessing Corporation can store in his depositories with mechanical loading about 1.500-2.000 tons of finished goods. The storage happens in qualitative classes. The content and production identifiers get to indication on all container boxes. The product, called peduncle leaf part has to check its quality continuously. It is necessary to pay a separate attention to the defence against the different animal pests in the course of the storage. The realization generally happens in big bulks, ahead according to a particular schedule. The biological bases of the tobacco growing and the technical development DOFER Zrt. adapts to the continuously changing requirements of the tobacco factory claims - and through this to the consumer wishes - and try to satisfy them. Own financial instruments and from time to time with the use of state supports, we satisfy the coming forward claims with the realisation of different technologies which can be applied in practice as well. We are looking for those tobacco varieties with the setting of assorment comparative experiments, that safely and economically producible are. We do the practical works that are necessary for the development in connection with the introduction of new growing procedures. We make the examination of our technological experiments available, we send our experiences to the interested ones through different informational channels.

I would be interested in knowing what the allegations are on the company; what damages are being claimed; consultations with relevant stakeholders; how many farmers have signed on etc. If supposing the suit is succesful, what do farmers expect to get out of it and which ones? I think that the tobacco issue is very complicated and it required a lot of research, consultations of the affected parties ect. I know the issue is delicate and can't be discussed on a public network like this but would appreciate receiving a response to my private email. Thanks, Charles On Wed, Sep 8, 2010 at 3:22 AM, aggrey adrale <[email protected]> wrote: Dear Caleb and colleagues, This is an excellent development, which will always be remembered and used as a reference in the history of West Nile. This initiative will help tone down some of the excesses of the otherwise irresponsible, insensitive and exploitative companies and the arrogant individuals they employ. Thank you, thank you and be blessed for this great offer of social responsibility.
