Sales in the Netherlands


During 2009, VNK members manufactured 8.8 million kilogram of fine-cut tobacco for the Dutch market. This volume represents a decline of more than 7% compared to the 9.5 million kilogram in 2008. The value per kilogram increased gradually, due to higher excise and production costs.
