The tobacco marketing season at the Limbe Auction Floors in Blantyre has this morning been suspended indefinitely.
The suspension follows disagreements over prices and increased rejection rate.
Some farmers at the auction have since reached out to Minister of Agriculture, Irrigation and Water Development Joseph Mwanamvekha pleading with him for better prices arguing the minimum $0.80 (about MK582) that is being offered is far too low.
More details to come….
