We'd love to hear from growers. Whether you need inputs or a contract, connect.
Our Grower Extension & Field Support service is designed to help tobacco growers, small-scale farmers, and cooperatives raise yields, improve leaf quality, and solve on-farm problems through direct, hands-on agronomy. We walk your fields weekly, diagnose issues early, and give practical advice that works for your plot size and pocket.
Our Grower Extension & Field Support service puts a qualified agronomist on your farm every week of the growing season. These are people who understand Zimbabwean soils, tobacco pests, curing barns, and the real pressures smallholder growers face. They don’t just visit, they train, demonstrate, and leave you with a clear action plan after every walk. The result is fewer crop losses, better grades, and growers who gain skills season after season.
Because a phone alone can’t spot early bloat, a nutrient deficiency, or a curing barn losing heat at 2 a.m. Our agronomists catch problems at the field edge, before they spread. You get professional eyes on your crop, practical demonstrations, and the confidence that comes from knowing an expert will be back next week to check progress.
Your agronomist walks every row, checking leaf colour, pest pressure, suckering, and overall plant vigour. You discuss what's working and what needs attention.
We train you to identify early signs of aphids, whitefly, frogeye, and other threats. Spray recommendations are precise, right product, right rate, right day.
Hands-on guidance with temperature ramping, humidity control, airflow, and colour fixing so your cured leaf grades high and fetches more at sale.
Practical field methods, contour ridging, mulching, planting basins, cover crops, to keep moisture in the ground and your tobacco growing through dry spells.
Smallholder tobacco growers, new farmers, cooperatives, and any grower who wants a knowledgeable partner in the field from seedbed to bale, without having to figure it all out alone.
When you choose our field support, you’re gaining a partner who treats your farm like their own. Weekly visits, honest feedback, and real teaching mean you’ll grow better tobacco, spend less on wasted chemicals, and harvest leaf that buyers pay more for.
Regular agronomy guidance lifts your average leaf quality. Growers in our scheme consistently see more top-grade leaf and fewer rejections.
Between visits, your agronomist is on call. A quick photo on WhatsApp can get a diagnosis the same day. You're never left guessing.
Here are answers to the questions growers ask most about our extension support, how it works, what it costs, and how to get the most from it.
Your agronomist arrives on a set day, walks the whole field with you, checks for pests and disease, looks at leaf colour and size, asks about recent sprays, and discusses what to do next. They leave a simple written note with recommendations and return dates.
Field visits are included in your tobacco contract at no extra direct cost. The agronomy support is built into our grower-finance model. Additional specialised training workshops are offered free of charge as well.
You'll have their mobile number and WhatsApp. Send a clear photo of the problem leaf, and they'll reply the same day with a diagnosis and advice. For urgent issues like a pest outbreak, they'll try to visit sooner.
Absolutely. Our agronomists can show you simple ways to track sprays, curing batches, input use, and sales. Good records help you budget better, plan for next season, and spot what works on your farm.
That's exactly who we built this service for. Your agronomist will be on your farm more often in the first season, guiding you from nursery sowing right through to baling. We don't expect you to know everything, we'll teach you step by step.
We have financed 6,000+ tobacco farmers in Zimbabwe – providing seeds, fertilizer, chemicals, expert agronomy, and a guaranteed market.
