The Tobacco Board of Zambia (TBZ) is participating in the 12th Agritech Expo in Kenya, using the prestigious regional platform to showcase Zambia’s growing tobacco industry and explore new opportunities for trade, investment, and strategic partnerships.

Through these engagements, TBZ aims to strengthen trade linkages, attract investment into Zambia’s tobacco value chain, and position the country’s tobacco industry competitively within regional and international markets.

As part of its mandate, the Tobacco Board of Zambia remains committed to protecting the interests of tobacco farmers by ensuring access to reliable markets, promoting fair trade practices, and facilitating transparent marketing systems that improve farmer incomes and support long-term sector sustainability.

Speaking during the Expo, Tobacco Board of Zambia Executive Director Mr. Robert Mwale reaffirmed the Board’s commitment to advancing the industry.

"TBZ remains strategic in promoting the industry and ensuring that the tobacco sector in Zambia thrives sustainably for the benefit of farmers and all stakeholders," said Mr. Mwale.

The Board's participation at the Agritech Expo underscores Zambia’s determination to expand agricultural trade opportunities, enhance farmer livelihoods, and strengthen the country’s position as a key player in the global tobacco industry.
