TFT Club — Tobacco Farmer Talk

ZIMBABWE TOBACCO INDABA 2027 · PROPOSED

From Market to Field.

Building a competitive, sustainable and profitable tobacco industry through evidence, grower voice and practical commitments.

The questions we need to answer together.

What crop is coming?

Production outlook, quality, costs and market readiness.

What does the market want?

Demand, buyer specifications, traceability and changing expectations.

Where is value being lost?

Grower returns, contracting practices, market information and opportunities to improve.

A whole-sector conversation.

Growers, research, regulators, contractors, merchants, buyers, auction floors, financiers, insurers and service providers have a place in this discussion.

The proposed timing is late February 2027, immediately before the marketing season. The final date and venue will follow the official calendar and stakeholder availability.

Our intended output is a concise record of issues, agreed actions, responsible organisations and follow-up dates.
