With the focus on investment in tobacco growing areas of raw materials, Vinataba has developed material zones in the country is relatively stable with increasing yield quality improvement, such as Lang Son, Cao Bang, Gia Lai, Tay Ninh, Ninh Thuan. Output purchased by the Corporation annually on average from 20,000 to 25,000 tons per year, basically meeting the demand for raw materials for domestic production units and cigarettes for export.

Characteristics of the sector, annually imports a large amount of raw materials for processing the delivery.Along with investment in developing material zones, Vinataba has developed standards and norms of raw material reserves, improve the localization rate and the rate of use of raw materials through processing. Through years of striving, localization ratio of the total materials company now reaches more than 60%, the rate of tobacco use raw materials through processing to 55%. Reserve material inventory in tobacco production units of cigarettes to ensure stable production needs. With the effective implementation of measures in recent years, corporations have been active materials and reduce the impact to the business.

Currently, there are five units Vinataba to invest in - to purchase raw materials dried yellow tobacco, Burley tobacco and tobacco brown localities, namely Ngan Son Joint Stock Company Institute of Economics and Technology (KTKT) tobacco, direct investment in the region of Cao Bang, Lang Son, Bac Can, Bac Giang, Thanh Hoa, Thai Nguyen ..., Da Nang Tobacco Company, and Ben Institute KTKT tobacco, direct investment in the area in Tay Ninh, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Ninh Thuan, Binh Thuan, Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, Khanh Hoa, Dong Nai, Quang Nam, Da Nang and some parts of the province southwest ... There are three units involved in processing tobacco raw materials, as the company Ngan Son, Da Nang Tobacco capable of processing more than 42,000 tons per year.

For years, especially after the Decision of the Prime Minister 80/2002/QD-TTg on "policies to encourage consumption of agricultural commodities through contracts", Vinataba focus development investment material areas, has policies to support and encourage tobacco farmers through contracting investment and consumption with the product purchase price was announced at the beginning service.

Through the provision of first farmers seeds, seedlings, fertilizers, plant protection agents, coal drying. capital and advanced without interest to repair or build new stoves, purchase of water pumps and other equipment to serve growing areas ..., to harvest, the investment unit of the plant will recover capital by purchasing the product.The unit has trained technical staff is qualified, dynamic individual to guide farmers to comply with the planting, harvesting drying, storage, purchasing and gradually transfer technology, enhance productivity, quality, efficiency, meet production requirements of plants. Since 2009, Vinataba deployment training schemes for farmers by the Government, to help raise her children to produce technical and business more efficient. In particular, corporations with partial support for farmers in case of unforeseen losses due to natural disasters such as floods, drought and pests in the seasons; support, investment in some localities in building infrastructure in direct service to growing areas such as construction materials, repair roads, bridges, irrigation systems ...

The development of the region's total raw tobacco companies for years have contributed positively to poverty programs, poverty alleviation in a sustainable way by the Government, workers and farmers make connections in close alliance, made combined economy with defense - security at the remote, mountainous border.

However, the plant material in some regions is still small scale and scattered farming practices and to acquire scientific and technical progress is still restricted. Therefore, the technology transfer to farmers growing tobacco is very difficult. Most in the area of raw materials, while raw material price increases, the situation that some traders and companies not participating in investment developing tobacco-growing region in the competition but to buy products, make it difficult for investors in unit investment recovery in advance.

Corporation has proposed to the Government a number of measures aimed at contributing to the building material area development and implementation of major undertakings of the Party on the development of rural economy through improving the quality, effectiveness of the "four."
