La Cooperativa de Tabacaleros de Jujuy launched the collection corresponding to the 2025-2026. campaign Juan Carlos Abud Robles participated in the start of the reception and presented the opening as a relevant stage for the provincial chain. The beginning organizes the entry of the production to the entity, but does not yet constitute a balance of the complete campaign.
Abud Robles stated that more than 90% of Jujuy tobacco will be collected and processed by the cooperative during the cycle. The proportion was communicated as an estimate for the year and not as an already fulfilled quantity. Tons received, average price, number of producers, or expected closing date were not disclosed in the same announcement.
The concentration of collection makes the cooperative a decisive player in organizing the reception, conditioning, and processing of provincial tobacco. Its operation connects primary production with the later stages of the chain. It also allows for coordinating tasks that impact local added value and the activity of workers involved in the campaign.
The leader highlighted precisely those effects and stated that the operation strengthens work, production, and the incorporation of value in Jujuy. This is his assessment of the role of the entity. The final impact will depend on the volumes actually delivered, the quality obtained, the marketing conditions, and the evolution of the market during the cycle.
The collection is a central moment because it materializes the delivery of the harvest and allows the product that will go to processing to be classified. For the producers, it also concentrates expectations regarding reception and payment conditions. None of these aspects were detailed in the initial communication, so it is not appropriate to attribute economic results that have not yet been reported to the opening.
The confirmed news is the beginning of the 2025-2026 campaign at the Cooperativa de Tabacaleros de Jujuy facilities. The expectation to surpass 90% of the provincial tobacco shows the scale that the entity plans to manage. The final evaluation will have to wait for the final data on reception, processing, and marketing that arise once the cycle is underway.
