 | Tabacalera was also the main copra exporter up to World War I and, in relation to sugar, it became the main exporter -although not the main producer- with its peak year in 1934, selling 278.000 Tons[13]. |
| Tabacalera's adaptation to the needs of the market was slow and, in the case of tobacco, could not adapt on time to new tendencies favoring cigars with less nicotine or cigarettes, therefore, when its quota of cigars to export to the U.S. could not be filled, brands from other companies filled the gap. |
| Tabacalera's structure made it to be a conservative character, but partly reason for this is that with such high profits from sugar there was not an imperative necessity to restructure tobacco handling. |
