Zimbabwe on target for 170 million kg

More than 143 million kg of tobacco had been sold for US$527 million after 76 days of Zimbabwe’s auction and contract selling season, according to a story in The Zimbabwe Herald.

The Tobacco Industry and Marketing Board chief executive, Dr. Andrew Matibiri, said deliveries to the auction floors had declined, though contract deliveries were still high.

“We are still confident we will get to the 170 million kg mark that we set as the target,” he said.
