Sparing farmers of the hassle of distant traveling to access tobacco sales information, Auction Holdings Limited (AHL) has launched a mobile platform called AHL252.

AHL’s Tobacco Sales General Manager Graham Kunimba said the platform will have assorted information from transaction notifications, tobacco sales quota and many more. Previously, tobacco farmers were going to AHL offices to check for such data; the platform hence serves as easier and faster means of information access.

Tutoring tobacco farmers on how to use the mobile platform, AHL is having meetings with them in their respective regions; a development that has been operational since late November this year.

The mobile platform also enlightens farmers to engage with various AHL subsidiaries directly, rather than sell to vendors who are prone to rip them off.
