Eleven companies are expected to buy Malawi tobacco in the 2024/2025 selling season. Among the 11 is a new company – East Bridge.

The others are Nyasa Manufacturing Company, Limbe Leaf Tobacco Company, JTI, Alliance One, Hail and Cotton, Premium Tobacco Malawi Limited, African Tobacco Services, Associated Central African Limited and Watergen.

Last year, 10 companies bought tobacco from the selling floors.

With 11 buying companies, the Commission expects healthy competition for tobacco and an exciting selling season.

The 2024/2025 tobacco selling season opens on April 9 at Kanengo in Lilongwe.

The first round of tobacco estimates survey projected production of 174 million kilogrammes of the crop.

A report of the second round of tobacco estimates survey is yet to be released.

Last year, 133 million kilogrammes of tobacco was sold.
