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.

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.
