November 25, 2021

As tobacco growers take care of their nurseries as part of the 2021/2022 farming season, some sectors of society continue raising questions over the future of the leaf in Malawi.

In this interview with Times TV earlier this month, Tobacco Commission Chief Executive Officer Dr Joseph Chidanti-Malunga explains, among other things, why the regulatory body is confident Malawi’s green gold will retain its place in the country’s economy for years to come. The interview was bilingual – English and Chichewa.
