Growing tobacco in the colonies faced several challenges, including the need for extensive labor, primarily sourced from enslaved individuals, to cultivate and harvest the crop. The soil quickly depleted its nutrients, requiring constant investment in new land and crop rotation. Additionally, the crop was susceptible to pests and diseases, which could devastate yields. Fluctuating market prices also posed economic risks for farmers relying heavily on tobacco production.
