Kenya Tea Development Agency Holdings (KTDA) has stopped the plan to make farmers direct shareholders of the company and continue with ownership through tea factories.

The agency’s previous board approved the decision to have farmers become individual investors under a new class of shares called "Tea Farmers" following a special general meeting in April 2021 where the company's Articles of Association were amended to allow the allotment of shares to individual farmers.
