Tobacco farmers have bemoaned high rejection rates of the county’s green gold at tobacco markets.

During the official opening of tobacco sales at Kanengo Auction Floors in Lilongwe, the rejection rate was at 36 percent but as the market progressed the rejection rate went to as high as 80 percent.

When sales began at Limbe Auction Floors in Blantyre on Monday, the market registered 52 percent rejection rate and just like in Lilongwe, buyers were also offering poor prices.

At Kanengo, the ceiling price for tobacco was at $1.80 per Kg but at Limbe most tobacco was bought for as low as 80 cents while the maximum price was at $1.40.

Meanwhile farmers have asked government to intervene on the matter, arguing that the current situation is affecting the farmers’ interest to grow tobacco.

  1. Thanks for expressing your ideas with this blog. As well, a fairy tale regarding the banking companies intentions when talking about property foreclosure is that the traditional bank will not getreceive my repayments. There is a fair bit of time the bank will need payments from time to time. If you are as well deep in the hole, they’re going to commonly desire that you pay the payment in full. However, i am not saying that they will have any sort of payments at all. When you and the standard bank can be capable to work a thing out, the particular foreclosure method may end. However, if you ever continue to miss out on payments wih the new approach, the foreclosures process can pick up exactly where it left off.|
