Inside the ITGA 2025 Africa Regional Meeting – What to Expect in Lilongwe

The International Tobacco Growers' Association (ITGA) will host its 2025 Africa Regional Meeting in Lilongwe, Malawi, reaffirming its commitment to supporting growers across the continent.

Set against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving global tobacco landscape, the agenda reflects the most pressing themes for the region:

Market Block
A detailed global leaf market overview and nicotine consumption
trends will set the tone, with emphasis on Africa’s role in shaping
future demand.

Regulatory Block
Stakeholders will receive insights into upcoming regulations, including
the implications of EU policies and outcomes from WHO COP10,
alongside a forward look at COP11. A dedicated panel will explore how
these developments intersect with African realities.

Development & Sustainability
Discussions will center on rural transformation, sustainable business
models, and inclusive development — themes critical to farmer
resilience and sector stability.

Audience Engagement
Real-time surveys, open discussions, and a transparent exchange of perspectives will drive the meeting.

ITGA continues to expand its footprint in Africa, advocating for grower interests, policy clarity, and sustainable progress.

The 2025 meeting in Malawi marks another step in deepening dialogue
and coordination across regional and international lines.
