Item 2. Properties
Our corporate headquarters are leased and are located in Morrisville, North Carolina. We own nine facilities in seven countries that are material to our leaf operations. We operate our leaf tobacco processing facilities for seven to nine months per year corresponding with the applicable harvesting seasons. We continually compare our production capacity and organization with the transitions occurring in global sourcing of tobacco. We believe our domestic production facilities and certain foreign production facilities have the capacity to process additional volumes of tobacco if required by customer demand.
The following is a listing of the principal physical properties used in our leaf operations, all of which are owned by the Company, as of March 31, 2022:
