Syria's tobacco industry right now

The state General Organisation of Tobacco controls the sector. Its head gave these figures in April 2026:

~80%of state cigarette and shisha factories not fully running
3,209 ttobacco produced in 2025
−35%cut in the organisation's workforce in one year

Private investors are showing interest, and privatising the state factories is under discussion.
