Zimbabwe is poised for a record-breaking tobacco growing season as farmers have already purchased over 1 million grams of seed, enough to cover 201,036 hectares, a significant increase from the same period last year when they bought 831,000 grams for 164,200 hectares. This surge is expected to surpass the country's area and output records set in 2019 and 2023 respectively. The success of the season is attributed to the profitable prices from the previous season and the lack of alternative crops that offer better pay.
