Intro:

The Mozambican authorities say that 2004 is the last year when tobacco produced in Mozambique will be exported to Malawi for processing, since the country's own processing plant, in the western province of Tete, is to be inaugurated next year.

"Our tobacco is still going to be processed in Malawi this year, but the produce from the 2004/2005 campaign will be processed at the Tete plant, that is now under construction", according to Setina Titosse, head of the production department in the Agriculture Ministry.
