Posting will start soon. Please check back later. In the meantime, please enjoy this short video of the Lilongwe tobacco auction in action, which I took in April 2006.
Many of Africa's tobacco sourcing countries are landlocked. In addition, they often suffer from fuel shortages, red tape and crumbling infrastructures.
How does leaf tobacco make it from the markets to its customers (or at least, the ports) under such conditions?
In this blog, Tobacco Reporter's Taco Tuinstra accompanies a shipment of Malawi burley as it makes it way from the Lilongwe auction floors to the port of Beira in Mozambique.
He will post updates as often as Internet access permits.
