TIMB introduces tobacco curing model

THE Tobacco Industry and Marketing Board (TIMB), in partnership with Boost Africa, has introduced a centralised curing business system targeting smallholder tobacco farmers.

In an interview, Henry Dike, a representative of Boost Africa, said the centralised curing system is a game-changer for smallholder farmers.

“By providing them with the necessary resources and training, we are not just improving their yield but also elevating their entire farming operation to a commercial level,” Dike stated.
