Le tabac est cultivé en Afrique depuis plus de trois siècles. Des navires venus d'Amérique au début du XVII ème siècle apportèrent des semences qui furent plantées le long des fleuves dans la région occidentale ou opéraient les marchands d'esclaves. La culture s'étendit au sud du continent et en 1892, les petites plantations individuelles qui avaient gagné l'intérieur de l'Afrique du sud produisaient quelque 3 millions de kilos.
