TIMB Assures Farmers of Price Recovery in Tobacco Market

The Tobacco Industry and Marketing Board (TIMB) has urged growers to remain calm amid concerns over low prices at the start of the marketing season. According to TIMB, the situation has stabilized, with encouraging price improvements recorded at auction and contract floors.

The regulator attributed the initial price dip to early season opening and limited buyer participation, rather than structural market issues. With contract floors now operational, prices are expected to firm up as buyer engagement increases.
