Zimbabwe: Four Tobacco Buyers Risk Losing Licences

18 March 2014

AT least four of the 20 Class "A" buyers that have been licensed to buy tobacco this year risk losing their licences as they have not yet started operating, four weeks after the season begun. Tobacco Industry and Marketing Board chief executive Dr Andrew Matibiri said the four have two weeks to get their act together.

"We give our buyers at least six weeks, from the start of the selling season, to start operating before we withdraw their licences. We, however, make exceptions if the buyer or buyers have good reason," he said.
