The Regie announced that it has established nurseries at its Saadiyat branch to produce seedlings of the oriental tobacco variety “Saada 6,” which will be distributed to tobacco farmers in southern Lebanon.
In a statement, the Regie said that the seedlings will be provided “to farmers in southern Lebanon, especially those whose fields are located in frontline villages,” adding that this initiative aims “to ensure the sustainability of tobacco farming and production in southern Lebanon during the 2025 season, following the displacement of farmers, the massive destruction of their homes and towns, and the severe damage to their fields.”
