- PHOTO TAKEN 19APR02 - Chinese tobacco farmers pass along boxes of new tobacco seedlings to nurseries at a tobacco farm on the outskirts of Kunming, capital of china's southwestern Yunnan province, April 19, 2002. The farmers are just a handful of the thousands of workers employed in the tobacco industry in Yunnan province. [Tobacco accounts for over half of the province's tax revenues, thanks to the demand of some 300 million Chinese smokers. With China's entry to the World Trade Organisation last year, the tobacco industry is facing - for the first time - competition from overseas. Picture taken April 19, 2002.]
