Germany is the second-smallest producer of tobacco among ranked countries. According to the latest available data, the country produces around 5,000 tons of the crop annually. Germany is also the second largest tobacco importer in terms of the commodity import value. A large share of imported tobacco is re-exported which is the reason why this Central European country found its place on this list. Although in the last few years the worth of shipped tobacco was on a decline, falling by 8 percent between 2011 and 2015, Germany still ranks among top tobacco exporters in the world. Its major export markets are Poland, Turkey, and Switzerland.
