EU tobacco growing subsidies!
« on: 11 October 2009, 11:57:22 »
There are fields of tobacco growing not far from where I live. It got me thinking where does it go and what is it used for (bespoke cigars maybe).

A bit of investigating on the net shows that Italy and Greece are the main producers.

How much EU subsidy was there in 2007 to farmers growing tobacco? ( a substance apparently injurious to health!)

For the answer click on http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200708/cmhansrd/cm081014/text/81014w0009.htm

PS I wonder if I can apply for a subsidy NOT to grow tobacco! That might be a nice little earner.

It's not as if they care about anyone's health. Tobacco earns plenty of tax revenue, so grow away. ::)
