MORRISVILLE, N.C., Sept. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Alliance One International, Inc. (NYSE: [ AOI ]) announced effective today it reached definitive agreements to purchase the 2011 Tobacco Crop previously contracted by United States Growers Direct ("USGD").

AOI looks forward to working with former USGD agents and growers and is purchasing tobacco at receiving stations that include:  

R.C. Commodities of Wilson, NC;

USGD Louisburg, LLC of Louisburg, NC;

Carolina Coastal Commodities of Goldsboro, LLC;
