I picked up a mission last night to supply 14 T of tobacco. I checked the commodities screen and found there were two agricultural worlds close by that exported tobacco, so accepted the mission and set off for them. When I got to the first I found it didn't have any. I went to the second and found the same. When I checked the galactic map I found that in both those worlds tobacco is prohibited.
I returned to the system where I took the mission and checked out the remaining two systems that were shown as exporting tobacco and when looking at the galactic map I found they were both about 140ly away. I decided to scrap the mission as there was no penalty, but a shame not to take advantage of the 330, 000 payment.
I've noticed this a few times.....systems showing as exporting a particular item on the commodities screen, but they don't appear to actually sell it when you get there.
No harm done, but it does seem a little misleading at times when information is given to say a system sells certain products when in fact they don't actually seem to.
