Green Leaf Threshing: From Field to Factory
Tobacco leaf harvesting takes 70 to 130 days after transplantation. One way of harvesting is to cut the plant, split or spear the stalks, and hang them on a tobacco stick or lath. The other way is to remove the leaves as they mature. The mechanical process of making the harvested tobacco ready for consumption is called Green Leaf Threshing. Green Leaf Threshing (GLT): GLT is the most important process in the tobacco industry. The process entails several stages that require scrupulous handling. The process separates lamina and midrib, which go through further stages, and finally, pack for consumption. Here are the different processes involved in a Green Leaf Threshing factory. Contact
