indonesia tobacco


The massive warehouse is silent except for the sound of tobacco leaves in motion. some of women and men build and dismantle piles of tobacco that have just arrived from the fields located around the city of klaten, in Indonesia's central Java province. The workers are sorting the tobacco leaves by quality, color and texture--an initial classification before fermentations begin. The women sort the tobacco slowly and methodically.
