Tobacco farmers in Malawi are planning to grow other crops this year because of the poor prices offered for the leaf last season, the Daily Times reported, citing a survey by the Tobacco Control Commission.
As many as 40 percent of the country’s farmers who grew tobacco last season will not do so again in 2010, the Blantyre- based newspaper said.
Malawi’s Tobacco Control Commission Chief Executive Officer Bruce Munthali was not available when Bloomberg News called his office in Blantyre today seeking comment.
