9. Turkey

Exported value: $386,132

The country which is known for its love for tobacco is 10th largest tobacco producer in the world with an annual yield of 90,000 tons. A significant share of the crop’s output ends up in foreign countries, mainly in the United States, Indonesia, and Belgium. In 2015, Turkey exported $386,132 tobacco, which was a 25 percent decrease compared to a year ago. Besides earning less from international shipments, the country also generated less revenue from domestic consumption since the number of smokers has been on a decline as a result of the government’s fight against tobacco use.
