China building huge leaf storage facility

China is planning to open its biggest leaf tobacco storage facility at Yangzonghai, Yunnan, early this year, according to a Tobacco China Online story.

The design of the Yunnan Leaf Tobacco Aging and StorageCenter was said to have been officially reviewed and approved by the Yunnan Tobacco Monopoly Administration and the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration in December.

Once it is running, the new center is expected to have a positive impact on Yunnan’s economy.
