Hurungwe Chief Mjinga Mutenhe Madadairwa aged (75) is bitter that tobacco farmers are doing lot of injustice to the environment and are therefore enemies from within communities.
He is aggrieved that communal farmers under his jurisdiction in Hurungwe East joined tobacco farming and are destroying forests.

He added, ‘‘Tobacco has brought a lot of devastation around our communities. We have witnessed unwarranted natural destruction of nature around,’’

Spread This News
Tobacco contract farming in Zimbabwe does not benefit the ordinary farmer , as it turns farmers into slaves to enrich the Contracting Companies. Farmers are turned into disguised workers for the contracting companies and they are always in credit living them without surplus money to recapitalize and survive. The contracting companies do not give farmers enough inputs / sometimes farmers are given things that don’t add value to their business. In most cases farmers are not given enough inputs required for their respective hectrage and this in return affects the quality of yields and the income of farmers. After giving farmers inputs these companies charge exorbitant interest on the inputs , straining the farmer who spends more than 6 months working on the crop.
