“A brief ceremony to mark the start of the 2024 tobacco marketing season will be held on Wednesday, March 13, 2024. The venue, time, and program for the ceremony will be communicated in due course,” Matsvaire stated.
In a bid to address challenges faced by farmers during the transportation of their crops to the market, TIMB introduced a transporters framework. This initiative aims to minimize losses incurred by farmers during transportation and streamline the logistics involved in bringing tobacco to market centers.
The move comes as part of TIMB’s ongoing efforts to enhance efficiency and support farmers throughout the marketing process.
