| a. Curing |
Use curing shed with either black plastic cover or with GI roofing but fitted with ceiling made of indigenous materials for proper humidity and temperature maintenance. Sunwilting of sticked leaves, if done, should not be more than 5 days. The distance between sticks in the wilting rack should be 15-20cm. Leaves should be covered with plastic sheets during noontime to avoid scalding and/or when there is rain. |
Use curing shed with either black plastic cover or with HI roofing but fitted with ceiling made of indigenous materials for proper humidity and temperature maintenance. |
| 15. Sorting and Classification |
Sort leaves according to size and ripeness before sticking Sort leaves by priming. Mist the butt ends of the sticked leaves before piling them into mandala for fermentation. AVOID USING PLASTICS AND OTHER NON-TOBACCO RELATED MATERIALS (NTRM) IN ANY POST HARVEST ACTIVITIES |
Strip leaves from the stalk after air -drying and bundle according to color and leaf position Pile the bundle to condition leaves for 3 weeks before bailing AVOID USING PLASTICS AND OTHER NON-TOBACCO RELATED MATERIALS (NTRM) IN ANY POST HARVEST ACTIVITIES |
