Produced in different countries , but did you believe that tobaco was cultivated in Wadi Halfa (in belly of rock) , why ? because the available lands were limited and adjusant to nile banks only . Authority at that time (colonization time ) issued a desicion for those people who were resident in that area to produce tobaco and forbid it in other places , why ? because arable lands in belly of rock limited and characterized by rocky lands .
Two types of tobaco were grown , smoking tobaco during winter peroid when nile recedes and planted in silt lands at the banks of the nile , while the other type which is a sort of snuffing tobaco planted during summer months by water wheels . In this area tobaco considered as the main cash crop . (All this existed before Nubian exodus from their home land to eastern SUDAN .
