Can somebody please check this text for any errors? It would mean the world to me.

OK, so this is the text :

The tobacco growers satisfied with today’s meeting with the purchasers.

The purchase of tobacco continues. The tobacco growers were satisfied from today’s meeting with the purchasers that took place at the Ministry of Agriculture. They asked for a more realistic quality evaluation, taking up the tobacco in three classes and an average price of $4.

“The purchasing organizations need to classify the tobacco in three classes - practically we should get 30 per cent of the handed tobacco to be in first class, 60 per cent in second, and 10 per cent in third A. We would reach a satisfactory price of $4 per kilo of raw tobacco”, says John Green.

From the tobacco companies alliance there is an appeal to the growers to bring the tobacco to the purchase points.

“The purchase companies started the purchasing precisely in the legal time limit, but not in all regions equally. They need to open the most important purchase points first. We’ll recommend to the growers to bring the tobacco”, says Steven Rush, the president of the tobacco companies alliance.

The tobacco growers hope that there will be no need of further meetings or protests. However, if any problems occur, they hinted a meeting with the purchasers, only this time not in the Ministry, but on the field.

So, I bolded "taking up" because I'm not sure if that is the correct verb to use - meaning the purchasing companies to recieve the tobacco from the growers in 3 classes.... Are there any other errors? This would mean the world to me.

Thank you...
