Cigarette production at Eastern Company increased 8.5 per cent in fiscal 2015, despite tax increases in February that boosted the pack price by one quarter, the English language website Ahram Online said.
Of 82 billion cigarettes produced, 79 billion were listed as officially sold, the website reported. Almost 61 billion cigarettes went to the domestic market. Eastern imports all of its tobacco, Ahram Online said.
