Mozambique Leaf Tobacco (MLT) is planning to install a second processing line at its factory in Tete, which was inaugurated only in May, according to an Agencia de Informacao de Mocambique report. The new line would take its annual installed capacity from 55,000 tons to 66,000 tons.

Alfredo Chambule, an official of the company, said that the introduction of the new processing line would require an increase in the amount of tobacco grown and would create new jobs within the factory.

He said that MLT, which is a subsidiary of Universal Tobacco, was ready to install the new line upon receiving approval from the relevant authorities.
