Scăunașu also declared: ”It helps reduce the trade deficit through exports. In 2023 alone, exports of heated tobacco products (HTPs) manufactured in Romania reached approximately 1 billion EUR, which places these products in the 3rd place of Romanian top exports. (…) Japan is one of the main export destinations for our company. The importance of this market was confirmed when the total exports of HTPs from Romania to Japan reached 59% of the total exports of heated tobacco products.”
