The new facility is designed to transform tobacco waste into high-value products such as crude nicotine, organic fertilizers, and various agricultural inputs. This forward-thinking approach promotes value addition, industrial development, and sustainable practices.
Sunny Methi, the CEO of African Extracts Pvt. Ltd, highlighted the far-reaching benefits the plant will bring to Zimbabwe and the broader region.
