Malawi's sales of tobacco, its biggest foreign exchange earner, increased to roughly $282 million in the latest season, up from $182 million a year earlier, its industry regulator said.

Although higher than a year earlier, Malawi's tobacco sales in the 2023 season fell short of previous years when they exceeded $350 million.
