Flue-cured Virginia Tobacco

Styles
Within the annual purchases there is a wide range of different styles, from lower stalk positions to full-bodied leaf, enabling us to supply our valued customers with all their FCV requirements.
We also supply Cut Rag tobacco.
Direct contract growing
Direct contract growing was established in 2015 to enhance and ensure continued and reliable production of the Zimbabwean tobacco crop.
This increase in national production is attributable to contract growing. Voedsel has a license to purchase Flue-Cured Virginia (FCV) directly from the farmer. Voedsel has been and remains a well-established and influential player in this field.
