Tea growers supplying green leaf to the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA)-managed Tirgaga Tea Factory in Bomet have demonstrated over the non-collection of their produce.

“Unfortunately, the plucking cycle has been disrupted due to the failure of Tirgaga Tea Factory's management to communicate with farmers about the challenges leading to non-collection of the green leaf,” said Paul Bett, a tea grower.
