A notable advance which could be claimed during the past 12 decades has been the introduction and spread of Virginia tobacco in Guntur, Krishna, East and West Godavari districts. The credit goes to a certain commercial concern which has been the pioneer in the field. The area under Virginia tobacco, which was only 40,000 acres during 1934-35 has increased to 86,815 acres in 1939-40 and to 1,34,000 acres during 1948-49. This area represents roughly 90% of the total area under Virginia tobacco in the Indian Dominion.
