The minimum tea price set by the government in July last year for produce from the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) has lifted earnings for other suppliers of high-quality beverage.
The reserve price was set at $2.43 (Sh285 at current exchange rates), a move that has benefited KTDA and other firms, including Kakuzi and Eastern Produce Kenya which are owned by UK-based multinational Camellia Plc. The two subsidiaries have tea estates in Nandi Hills.
