The Korea Sogyong Trading Corporation is a North Korean company that exports carpets and manufactures cigarettes.[1]
Origins
Its cigarette manufacturing business began in September 2001 when it formed a 40%-60% joint venture with British American Tobacco called Taesong-BAT.[2] As of 2005[update], when the venture became known to the public, Taesong-BAT employed 200 people in Pyongyang and produced 2 billion cigarettes per year.[3]
