Nipah Leaf (Leaf of Tobacco Bandages from Aceh)

Hi Steemian, How the Weekend friends in this week ..
In this post I want to share about Nipah Leaf (Leaf of Tobacco Bandages from Aceh)

Aceh has abundant natural resources. One of them is a nipah tree (Nypa pruticans), which is very potential to be developed into economic value. The dried nipah leaf shoots that have been disposed of the skin sold the local residents to the container at a price of Rp 11,000 per kilogram to Rp 12,000 per kilogram with a length of about 1.2 meters.

The processing technique was very simple, the newly cut nipah shoots then soaked in water, then removed and peeled leaves that will be processed into leaves of shoots, continue to be dried in the sun to make a cigarette wrap.

During this time Nipah leaf cigarettes are still consumed by some people of Aceh, especially among men aged in the province of Aceh. If the nipah leaf cigarette is well managed and carried out by the local government, it is will be an opportunity to increase the economy of coastal communities, As we know Nipah leaf is produced by two coastal areas in Aceh, namely Simpang Ulim Aceh Timur and Tanah Pasir Aceh Utara and also Export to Thailand and Malay.

Warm Regard from Aceh Sumatra
