Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Tobacco Industry Marketing Board (TIMB) has suspended the Boka Tobacco Sales Floor from purchasing tobacco from farmers with immediate effect.<\/p>\n

Boka Tobacco Sales Floor was suspended on Thursday following several reports by growers that they have spent more than a month without receiving payment for their produce.<\/p>\n

TIMB Public Affairs Officer, Chelesani Moyo, said the suspension will be reviewed after the Floor clears all its outstanding dues and provides proof of adequate financial resources. She said:<\/p>\n

TIMB wishes to advise the public that we have received several complaints from growers who have not been paid by Boka Tobacco Sales Floor after sales.<\/p>\n

As a regulator, we have engaged with Boka Management to resolve the issue in an amicable manner.<\/p>\n

With immediate effect, TIMB has suspended all tobacco purchases by Boka until they have cleared all outstanding payments and provided proof of adequate financial resources.<\/p>\n

We will continue to ensure farmers are paid timeously.<\/p>\n
