Third round of crop estimates survey results released

The third round of tobacco estimates survey conducted in June this year has revealed a 7% increase from last year’s tobacco production.

A report released by the Tobacco Commission on 17th July shows that this year, Malawi has 129 million kilogrammes of tobacco. In 2023, 120 million kilogrammes was sold.

The second round of crop estimates in February this year projected production of 140 million kilogrammes.

The decrease in volumes is attributed to rampant illegal cross-border trade, persistent dry spells after the second round of crop estimates survey and post-harvest losses.

Tobacco estimates surveys are conducted by the tobacco industry in Malawi and coordinated by the Tobacco Commission.
