HARARE, Feb. 9 (Xinhua) -- The volume and quality of this year's tobacco leaf is expected to be significantly higher due to the good rains the country received this farming season, an industry official said on Thursday.

George Seremwe, president of the Zimbabwe Tobacco Growers Association, told journalists that the quality of the crops was good and would likely fetch high prices when the marketing season opens soon.
