The Tobacco Commission (TC), says it is going to embark on the first round crop estimate survey for 2023-24 tobacco growing season on January 15, 2024.
The Commission’s Public Relations Officer (PRO) Telephorus Chigwenembe, has confirmed the development to 247 Malawi News adding that data collection works will be done in all regions across the country.
He however, added that the commission has implored farmers to cooperate by providing correct information to the data collectors citing ‘credible estimates are used by various players in the economy’.
“TC will conduct the survey for period of three weeks commencing on 15th January ending 2nd February 2024,” says Chigwenembe.
Earlier today, the Commission indicated that 248 million kilogrammes of tobacco have been licenced by January 11, 2024 in a 2023-24 tobacco registration period which is closing on January 31, 2024.
This is a substantial increase as compared to last year’s 170 million kilogrammes.
