Hi @EcoCashZW how can we very in touch with you for refunds on transactions that did not go through on Sunday?

Are they going to Be reversed automatically or we have to call you to do it for us?

Are you still responding to DMs or you since stopped?

Did You Know?
Zimbabwe is the 4/5th largest tobacco producer in the world and the biggest in Africa?
The country has around 130k growers, with 85% being smallholder farmers.
Over 60% of Zimbabwe’s tobacco is exported to China, making it the country’s top buyer.

[Tobacco Farmer Talk @TheFarmerTalk]

@jahman_adamski In conclusion the tobacco sector is NOT dominated by the Chinese companies and yes growers are not enjoying the fruit if their labor.
15% Retention, high charges at floors, High input costs, unfavorable pricing at the floors and debt rollover are key factors affecting growers

[Tobacco Farmer Talk @TheFarmerTalk]

@jahman_adamski * The 60 million was promised over 2 seasons ago and nothing has been done to ensure growers benefit.
* 30% refered to value addition that was intended to increase from the current 2% to 30% by 2025. 60 million give us production of less than 30000 ha yet we do over 110000 ha

[Tobacco Farmer Talk @TheFarmerTalk]

@jahman_adamski We need to correct a few misconceptions here
* the contracting system is not dominated by Chinese companies although abt 65% of our tobacco finds its way into China
* While the contracting system is not favorable, and most farmers in debt, yet not many of them have lost assests
