Celebrating 40 years of the International Tobacco Growers’ Association

Today, 26 November 2024, marks the 40th anniversary of the International Tobacco Growers’ Association (ITGA). The ITGA is an organisation that has served as a dedicated advocate and global platform for tobacco farmers since its inception in 1984.

The ITGA was established by the six leading tobacco-exporting countries at the time (Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Malawi, the USA and Zimbabwe), to give a unified voice to tobacco growers worldwide, creating a platform to represent their interests and address their unique challenges.
