Tobacco market opens on strong note of good prices : TCC
Malawi’s tobacco market officially opened on Monday at Lilongwe’s auction floors with good prices of US$2.10 per kg offered for an average leaf of quality tobacco, APA has learnt here.
According to Tobacco Control Commission (TCC) General Manager Bruce Munthali, the market started well because buyers were using government’s minimum average prices of US$2 per kg for a quality tobacco leaf.
“Government is satisfied with the way the market has started for this season compared to last year where buyers offered very low prices,” he said.
He, however, bemoaned the low production of tobacco this season due to a dry spell which most parts of the country experienced.-APA

this is true,it starts like that,but thats not fair.Kwathu kuno chinthu chomwe timadalira ndi ulimi but the way we use 2 treat farmers mmm…plz mtengowo usatsikeyi
Its good news that the prices have started on a good note. But nyasatimes, why use a picture of the general manager of TCC sleeping. You mean you cant get a good picture of him or what
Koma if the prices drop beyond that, kaya bwana awathamangitsa ma buyer? kaya? paja nthawi ija was a campaign period, while now ndinthawi ya chikwati mutha kuwonanso mmene tikusinthira ma date ndiye zoti tingalimbane ndi za fodya, kaya zanu izo!!!!!!!!
Now, this is the best time TCC and the state to show their active practice by maintaining this reasonable price/kg. Cheers!
So you know that fixing prices helps. To hell with textbook economists who talk about supply and demand when the sellers is at the mercy of the buyers. When you market failures it is justified to intervene. And that is what government did.

GVT must also set a minimum salary for employees in malawi, more especially, domestic workers and all those working for Asians. That can also help diminishing oppression in this country.
