The Daily. Monday, April 29, 2002 Production and disposition of tobacco productsMarch 2002Tobacco product manufacturers reduced production of cigarettes slightly in March, but sales increased. However, production was higher than sales, causing cigarette inventories to expand. Production totalled 3.6 billion cigarettes in March, down 1% from February and down 9% from March 2001. In the first three months of 2002, 10.4 billion cigarettes were produced, down 2% from the same period of 2001. Shipments totalled 3.5 billion cigarettes in March, up 4% from February but down 13% from March 2001. Year-to-date shipments to the end of March stood at 10.3 billion cigarettes, down 5% from the same period of 2001. Due to the relatively high production, inventories expanded 3% to a closing level of 4.6 billion cigarettes at the end of March, up 9% from the end of March 2001. Available on CANSIM: table 303-0007.
