Farmers should feel proud of their work, and we are here to support them every step of the way. While our main focus is the Zimbabwean market, we are also exporting end products to meet international demand,” Ushewekunze said.

“We have invested significantly in agronomy to guarantee the production of high-grade tobacco, ” Ushewekunze said.

“To produce good grades of tobacco, we have engaged a team of expert agronomists stationed throughout the country. Their role is to guide farmers and ensure the tobacco meets the expectations of both local and international clients,” he said.

Meanwhile, the company’s Head of Marketing, Victoria Ayisa, outlined their community engagement strategy.
