Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Tobacco Commission (TC) says Malawi has made US$282,618,477 (about K295 billion) after selling over 120 million kilograms of tobacco during the 2023 tobacco marketing season which ended on Friday.<\/p>\n

Public Relations Officer for Tobacco Commission Telephorus Chigwenembe said the 120,056,392 kilograms of tobacco were sold at an average price of $2.35.<\/p>\n

The 2023 tobacco selling season came to an end on Friday with the closure of Mzuzu Floors. It lasted 17 weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the 2022 selling season which lasted 20 weeks, 85 million kilograms valued at $182 million were sold at an average price of $2.14,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

According to the Commission, the just ended tobacco selling season was very successful because of the good prices throughout the period.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was even more exciting towards the end of the season when buyers offered record prices,\u201d said Chigwenembe.<\/p>\n

He went on to say that there were no serious market disruptions as was the case in the past.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, registration and licensing of farmers for the 2023\/2024 growing season continues at all TC offices \u2013 in Mzuzu, Kasungu, Lilongwe and Limbe.<\/p>\n

Chigwenembe has encouraged farmers to grow more tobacco as they did in the 2022\/ 2023 growing season.<\/p>\n
