About me

Location	Kalhat, El-Koura, Lebanon
Introduction	We are Mirella Khalil and Tamara Hanna students at the University of Balamand, Lebanon. We are now taking a course called Environmental Economics with Dr. Rania Masri. Dr.Masri, assigned us a project to achieve in the semester, which is to choose an agricultural product in Lebanon and follow every step it takes from crop to production to market and consumer! We chose Tobacco because we think it's such an important contributor to the Lebanese economy as many farmers are cultivating it especially in the underdeveloped regions. Also, tobacco is like no other item. It is supervised by the government for the government, as it controls its sales, production, exports, imports and so on. On this blog, we will be posting all useful information that we find during each step of the way till the end of this spring 2011 semester!
