Which harvest is more valuable commercially to them? Sugar or tobacco?

[Kevin48438]

According to this, tobacco products have a slight lead.  From 2019

$332.9 million - tobacco

$295.9 million - sugar

I’m surprised.  I thought sugar would have had a huge lead.

 

Not sure which is more “valuable” from a profit perspective.

Also note that sugar probably doesn’t include rum.  That would be in the “Beverages, spirits, vinegar: $121.2 million” category.  I would guess the vast portion of that category is rum.

Also 2019 is old for Cuba. Going downhill pretty fast.

I'm fairly certain it would be sugar since they have to share 50% of the cigar profits with Gemstone.
