Zimbabwe sells over 200 mln kg tobacco leaf in 2022


HARARE, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) -- Zimbabwe has sold 201,052,892 kilograms of tobacco leaf worth 614,274,983 U.S. dollars since the marketing season opened in March despite the crop being grown under difficult conditions, according to statistics released by the Tobacco Industry and Marketing Board (TIMB) on Friday.

Besides being close to matching last year's output, the value of the crop sold so far this year has surpassed last year's figure, reflecting firmer prices that were obtained in the market due to good quality leaf. Zimbabwe sold 207,176,784 kg of the golden leaf valued at 578,782,797 U.S. dollars during the same period last year.
