Police across Zimbabwe have started a major crackdown on fake product makers working from hidden locations. These illegal factories create drinks with false labels that promise better health or increased sexual ability.

Nigeria recently took strong action when authorities closed the Cemetery Market in Aba, Abia State, for the second time in two years.

The tobacco auction floors will become busy starting tomorrow as the marketing season begins. Farmers feel hopeful because the Government promised payments within 48 hours from contractors and buyers. Many small businesses have already set up their shops nearby, including food sellers, car washers, and clothing vendors who expect good business from visiting farmers.
Price differences between auction and contract floors worry many tobacco growers. Although contract prices are linked to auction prices, farmers want equal treatment across both systems. The auction floors mainly help establish market prices since they handle just 5 percent of all tobacco sales. Many contract farmers enjoy the benefit of delivering their crops closer to...
