RURAL DEVELOPMENT

Our members provide training, incubation, mentoring and administrative services to support tobacco growing, as well as the cultivation of other crops and livestock management.

As a result, tobacco leaf farming is sustaining a new generation of farmers and providing communities with safer long-term incomes, food security, access to healthcare and education.

Our farmers now have a more stable income which allows them to provide for families and ensures better living standards.

We are committed to further supporting rural and local communities to create employment opportunities and build sustainable farming projects.

We believe that investment is needed in emerging farmers programmes and that the Government should create an enabling environment for investment to take place.
