02 What We Do
Our Operations
GGLT coordinates a range of activities across the tobacco value chain, supporting growers from planning through to settlement.
02 Value Chain
How tobacco moves from grower to market
GGLT’s four core services connect at each stage of the value chain, from the growing season through to export.
Contract Growing
Grower agreements from planning to harvest
Contract Buying
Direct purchase arrangements with growers
Auction Buying
Purchasing on the open auction floor
Tobacco Exports
Moving graded tobacco into export markets
Grower Support
Agricultural organisations can support growers throughout the production cycle by providing guidance during registration and planning, coordinating access to inputs, and remaining available to growers as they progress through planting, crop management, harvest and sale. Consistent, responsive support helps growers plan with confidence.
Agricultural Operations
Operational coordination brings together planning, scheduling and resource allocation across the agricultural season. This includes coordinating activities between growers, field teams and partners so that each stage of production is properly supported.

Tobacco Production
The tobacco production value chain spans several stages, from seedbed preparation and planting through to curing, grading and sale. Supporting consistent practice across these stages contributes to the quality and reliability of the crop.
Financing & Commercial Partnerships
Financial and commercial partnerships can support agricultural operations by helping growers and organisations access the resources needed for production.
Compliance & Governance
Every bale is classified and recorded
Each lot of tobacco sold through the auction floor is classified, weighed and priced against a recorded ticket carrying the grower number, grade, mass and price. Operating within a framework of sound governance and regulatory awareness is central to how GGLT does business.
Technology
The Role of Technology

Data Management
Organised agricultural data supports better planning and reporting across the growing season.
Communication
Clear channels of communication keep growers, field teams and partners aligned.
Operational Efficiency
Technology can streamline coordination across planning, production and logistics.
Compliance
Good record keeping supports transparency and regulatory awareness.
