As of August 12th, the country has sold a cumulative total of 35 million kilograms of tobacco plant products approved for sale, exceeding the expected sales volume of 33 million kilograms. Specifically, 27 million kilograms of Flue-cured Virginia tobacco was sold, while 6 million kilograms of white Burley tobacco was sold.
On August 24th, Minister of Agriculture Reuben Mtolo informed the International Tobacco Growers Association in Lusaka that despite several unfavorable factors such as low investments, the industry has shown strong performance this season. He stated that the government is dedicated to creating an investment-friendly environment.
According to Mtolo, the government is currently developing a new regulatory framework for the tobacco industry that will improve oversight and enable private growers to participate more effectively throughout the entire tobacco value chain.
Zambia's eighth National Development Plan emphasizes crop diversification and improving profitability for all participants in the value chain.
