Despite the El Niño-induced drought affecting Zimbabwe, tobacco prices have shown improvement this year compared to the previous season, according to the Tobacco Industry Marketing Board.
Although the drought has led to a decline in tobacco deliveries, the overall quality of the crop has seemingly contributed to better prices for farmers.
The severe drought, caused by the El Niño weather , has taken a toll on agriculture in the region, with Zimbabwe experiencing reduced rainfall and increased temperatures.
However, despite the challenging conditions, the tobacco industry has managed to maintain stable prices, providing some relief to farmers and producers.
The Tobacco Industry Marketing Board remains committed to supporting farmers and working towards sustainable solutions for the industry.
