To obtain a sample of Re-dried Threshed Lamina that weighs just about 2 kgs, we had to feed a minimum of 1600 kgs of raw tobacco into the machines to make it an optimum operation. Certainly it's worth every penny as it gives a clear understanding to the clients that intend to perform a thorough evaluation of samples.
Clarification on the grade:
"B3O / MF2 / Y2"
The farmers call it Y2. The trade calls it MF2. Exporters call it B3O.
PS: We really wish there is a harmonized grading system that is being used and accepted globally to avoid confusion.
