About Us
Grower Management & Support
At Tobacco Company of Zimbabwe, we are committed to building a sustainable future for tobacco farming through strong partnerships with growers and communities. With a focus on grower management and contract farming, we provide farmers with the tools, resources, and support they need to thrive while ensuring consistent, high-quality leaf production for our customers.
Our integrated grower management system promotes transparency, accountability, and traceability across the entire value chain — from seed to market. Through training, technical assistance, and financial support, we empower farmers to adopt modern agricultural practices that improve yields, enhance leaf quality, and safeguard the environment.
Contract Farming Programs
- Legally Binding Agreements: Farmers sign contracts that outline responsibilities, input support, and expected farming standards.
- Ethical Standards: Programs follow the TIMB Agriculture Labour Practices (ALP) code, banning child labor and promoting fair labor practices.
- Sustainability Focus: Companies promote Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), environmental stewardship, and community development.
- Inclusive Schemes: Programs often include small-scale growers (up to 70%) alongside medium and commercial farmers.
