*TIMB Pushes For Use Of Gas In Tobacco Curing* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?hx The Tobacco Industry and Marketing Board (TIMB) says it is seeking a partnership with gas technology companies to establish a centralised gas curing facility for tobacco. The move is aimed at reducing the use of firewood in curing tobacco, thereby curbing deforestation. ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

In a statement, the TIMB spokesperson, Chelesani Moyo, said the centralised gas facility should allow for multiple farmers to cure their tobacco at the same time. She said: This is one of the sustainable curing initiatives which we are considering as a board. > Sustainable tobacco production is the efficient production of quality tobacco, under conditions that limit the negative impact on the environment. > This also entails best agricultural practices that improve the socio-economic conditions of tobacco growers and communities in tobacco-producing areas. > TIMB’s commitment to promoting sustainable tobacco production is also personified in the board’s new tagline: For Livelihoods, For Sustainability. > The tagline is a strong stance by all tobacco value chain players through the regulator to promote sustainable practices and operations for the improved social and economic well-being of tobacco growers and their families. *More: New Ziana* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
