AHL Group has reaffirmed its commitment towards reforestation as a way towards sustainability of the tobacco production and business in the country.<\/p>\n
Assistant Floors Manager for Limbe Auction Floors Simon Chirwa made the pledge on the sidelines of a tree-planting exercise the company held at Nanjiri Primary School, in Traditional Authority Chikowi\u2019s area, in Zomba.<\/p>\n
The exercise is part of the company\u2019s drive to plant over 30,000 seedlings across the country this year.<\/p>\n
According to Chirwa, the group has realised with shock the huge impact that tobacco production has had on the wanton cutting down of trees especially for curing the leaf.<\/p>\n
He said, in that regard, the company has reaffirmed its commitment of replanting trees across the country to restore the lost glory.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are advocating, through all the subsidiaries of AHL Group, for a tree planting exercise where we will plant thousands of trees in every district of the country,\u201d said Chirwa.<\/p>\n
He then called on the tobacco farmers to take a leading role in ensuring they follow modern ways of tobacco curing and drying that would conserve the trees<\/p>\n
One of the farmers who attended the tree-planting exercise said the commitment by AHL has empowered them to also take part in planting trees as individuals within their communities.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are more than willing to take part in the process of replanting the trees for that is the future of agriculture here in Malawi,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
