M.Tech. / The tobacco species Nicotiana tabacum has been cultivated in South Africa since 1657, South Africa is considered to be a major producer and exporter of tobacco worldwide. The chlorine percentage of the leaf is very important to cigarette manufacturers when purchasing tobacco from farmers, as a high chlorine percentage value affects the burning quality of the cigarette. The chlorine percentage of the leaves depends on many factors such as rainfall, fertilizer, soil content of chlorine and irrigation. If tobacco with a high chlorine content is not phased out, South African tobacco will lose its export value and the value of the farmers crop may decrease by up to 35%. The research study was undertaken to establish the effect of an isopathically prepared treatment, Chlorine 9CH, on the chlorine percentage levels of (growing) Nicotiana tabacum plants. The research was conducted on the farm J151 in Marble Hall, Mpumalanga from 15 November 2004 to 4 March 2005. Two groups each containing fifty plants were randomly chosen to serve as the Control and Experimental group. There was an initial control period of four weeks during which two Pre-tests were performed on ten plants in each group at two week intervals. The experimental component of the study took place over two months during which the Experimental group was treated with Chlorine 9CH via a knapsack and the Control group was treated with filtered water only via a knapsack sprayer. Both groups were treated twice daily. During the experimental component, two Post-tests were performed on ten plants from each group (at week 8 and week 12) and the third Post-test was performed on the cured leaves the final row of each group (at week 12 and week 14).

Regulations to reduce the consumption of tobacco products have dual effects on economies. Economies that are net consumers of tobacco products experience welfare enhancing effects as a result of these regulations. However, these regulations can have adverse welfare effects among net producing economies. Many studies have explored these welfare effects on net consuming economies, whereas the impacts among net producing economies have been neglected. This research paper examined the adverse welfare effects of smoking regulations on small tobacco exporting economies with, a comparative advantage in tobacco production.

Taiwan obtained her membership to WTO on January 1st, 2002. Becoming the organization¡¦s 144th member, some promises have to be made according to the organization¡¦s spirit. Among those promises are divided into tariff reduction, most favored nation treatment to WTO members, and trade liberalization. Meanwhile, Taiwan has to get rid of any trade barrier, tariff related or no tariff related, in order to guarantee fair and free competition in trading. However, impacts are coming to some industries, especially on agriculture and industries they were protected by government and special laws in past time. In Taiwan tobacco industry has being protected by such laws, since Japan¡¦s rule. ROC government has been practicing monopolization on the industry for more 100 years. From tobacco planting, processing, cigarette making, distribution and retailing, all are under such protection by government. Monopoly laws. The purpose of this research aims at understanding the degree of impact on this long protected monopolistic industry under global and liberal competition after Taiwan became a member of WTO. Hopefully, Taiwan tobacco industry can figure out the strategy to deal with severe international competition. This research first makes a discussion about WTO treaty and monopolistic system. After the discussion, information about current tobacco industry in Taiwan and global trend of the industry is used to analyze the overall situation of the industry on the basis of construction competition theory and related research documents. A case study is made on Taiwan Tobacco & Wind Monopoly Bureau. With the view of resource base theory, this research discusses the built resource base during monopolization, and estimates its advantages and disadvantages, and its opportunities and threats under global competition. Then a responsive strategy can be accordingly made. Monopolistic system is to be abolished after the entrance to WTO. Thereafter, Taiwan Tobacco & Wind Monopoly Bureau is going to be reshuffled in July 2002 on its way to privatization. This research can be made a reference to the ongoing strategy and the successors interested in this topic.
