JTI is one of Malawi’s largest tobacco buyers. We have invested $435 million in our business here over the past five years, making us a significant player in the country’s tobacco industry.
We’ve been doing business in Malawi since 1999 when we took over from Africa Leaf Malawi Limited.
With a workforce of 288 permanent and 927 seasonal employees, we are contributing to our country’s socio-economic development. Our company headquarters are in Lilongwe and we have regional offices in Blantyre and Mzuzu, with a chain of leaf technicians operating in all the tobacco districts of Malawi.
Our leaf technicians work as agriculture advisers, supporting farmers across the country and promoting an industry that fuels Malawi’s economy. Our support means that farmers produce a quality crop, improving their production volumes and their earnings.
JTI Malawi will always assist with any media request that concerns our local market.
