Our 9th USLT&SM was another huge success! The 2016 class was one of the most diverse classes we have hosted to date. Twenty-two participants from 11 countries, including two from the US, participated in the eleven-day training program on the superior quality characteristics of US flue-cured, TA's role, and the US tobacco industry. As is the case with all missions, we have broadened our worldwide industry contacts and established new flue-cured export opportunities.
