Item 1.  Security and Issuer

         The class of equity securities to which this Statement on Schedule 13D
relates is the Common Stock, no par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of
DIMON Incorporated (the "Issuer"), a Virginia corporation, with its principal
executive offices located at 512 Bridge Street, Danville, Virginia 24543-0681.

Item 2.  Identity and Background

         The name of the entity filing this Schedule 13D is Folium Inc., a
British Virgin Islands corporation.  The primary business of Folium Inc. is

         (d)-(e)

         None of the entities or persons identified in this Item 2 has, during

violations or similar misdemeanors).

         None of the entities or persons identified in this Item 2 has, during

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

         The Reporting Person acquired and continues to hold the Common Stock
reported herein for investment purposes.  The Reporting Person has no plans or
proposals relating to any matters specified in paragraphs (a) through (j) of
Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  However, the Reporting Person reserves the right to
adopt such plans or proposals in the future, subject to applicable regulatory
requirements.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

         (a)     Folium Inc. may be deemed to be the beneficial owner (as that
term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) of 3,630,320 shares of Common 
Stock, which constitutes 7.5% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock.

              Of those shares, 2,803,908 may be acquired by the Reporting
Person upon conversion of $80,668,440 principal amount of DIMON Incorporated
6.25% Convertible Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures") at a price of
$28.77 per share.  The Debentures are convertible immediately and thus are

         (b)     Except as described in this Item 5(c), no transactions in the
shares of Common Stock have been effected by the Reporting Person during the
past 60 days.  The decrease in shares beneficially owned is the result of a
cancellation of $12,671,560 principal amount of Debentures in connection with a
purchase price adjustment in the sale of Intabex Holdings Worldwide S.A. to the
Issuer.

         (c)     No other person is known to have the right to receive or the
power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale

         There are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships
with respect to the shares of the Common Stock owned by the Reporting Person.

Item 7.  Material to be filed as Exhibits.

         None.
