This was because its prices were very high due to the Turkey season, causing a decrease in the amount received from it. 321,000 kilograms of tobacco in the previous year, but its price increased by 315,000 EGP. Most of the population spends a significant amount on tobacco. The poor used to spend half a piaster per day, for example, and the average spent one piaster. Due to the price of tobacco, they were forced to consume less than they used to smoke before, and therefore the quantity decreased. However, since the government's revenue from tobacco is calculated based on its quantity, not its price, the decrease in quantity led to a decrease in revenue. Furthermore, the burning of a large part of the tobacco warehouses at the Alexandria customs at the beginning of the year affected its trade.
