JTI launches promo for tobacco farmers
By Emmanuel Simpokolwe:
JTI Leaf Malawi has launched a promotion called ‘Mlimi Wozitsata Ayiphule’ to reward its contracted tobacco growers.
Speaking during the launch in Lilongwe, JTI Leaf Malawi Corporate Affairs Director Limbani Kakhome said the promotion will run from the day tobacco markets open until its closure in October.
He said all JTI-contracted growers are eligible and stand a chance to win prizes including diesel-powered maize mill and huller, fully registered three motorcycles and bags of NPK and Urea fertiliser, among others.
“This year, we have gone bigger by introducing grand national prizes to be won by our contracted growers who fulfil set requirements,” he said.
One of the farmers who attended the launching ceremony said the promotion will help the farmers adhere to the set standard of the company.
“Most of the requirements in the promotion are things that we normally do on a daily basis; so, this will motivate us to do more,” he said.
