The country has realized nearly $144 million dollars after six weeks of tobacco sales on the market.
This is equivalent to K259 billion kwacha, and $59 million higher than the $85 million which was realized during the same period last year.

The average price has so far risen by 7% from $2.57 in week 1 to $2.74 in week 5.
