According to New Zimbabwe, citing a government statement on August 21, Zimbabwe Tobacco sales revenue this season Near  US$900 million。

" The cabinet is pleased to inform that Total tobacco production It has reached an astonishing level 295,499,782 kg， Value US$895,114,791," said Angous Masuka, Minister of Lands and Agriculture.# p#pagination title #e#

"It is particularly noteworthy that 52% of total production comes from A1 and A2 farmers, which confirms the success of the land reform program," he said.

In the early 2000s, Zimbabwe confiscated most of its large-scale tobacco farms owned by whites and redistributed them to landless farmers.

Tobacco production grew despite the war in Ukraine that led to higher fertilizer prices.

Zimbabwe's tobacco production plummeted from a high of about 240 million kilograms in 1998 to less than 50 million kilograms 10 years later, and has been rebounding since then.

Through its Tobacco Value Chain Transformation Program, the southern African country has been trying to increase profits in its tobacco industry by producing more cigarettes domestically and limiting foreign aid to farmers.
