Operations
BSC’s modern facilities in Springfield and Greeneville Tennessee are strategically positioned to procure, process and store burley tobacco of the highest quality.
BSC purchases leaf tobacco directly from farmer-members in the traditional burley producing regions where the highest quality tobacco has been grown for centuries. Procurement of burley is allocated across the production belt to result in the optimal mix of burley from across the production region. Most of the tobacco is produced along the Tennessee-Kentucky border with small amounts coming from Western North Carolina and Southwest Virginia.
BSC enters marketing agreements with members to allow delivery of their tobacco to BSC. The marketing agreements outline the volume to be delivered, prices, quality specifications, and ensure appropriate agricultural practices are used in raising, harvesting, curing and delivering the tobacco.
Producers deliver their tobacco to BSC’s receiving stations in Springfield and Greeneville, where each pile of tobacco is classified, tested and prepared for the processing facility.
Processing services are performed according to BSC’s specifications before being shipped to storage.
BSC owns eight storage facilities with total storage capacity exceeding 20,000 metric tons. BSC’s storage facilities are modern and meticulously maintained to provide optimal storage conditions for processed tobacco.
