More than half of the tea from Kenyan farms presented to the Mombasa auction in May remained unsold as heavy rains increased production of the green leaf, leading to a glut.
Data from Africa Tea Brokers Limited (ATBL) shows the four auctions held in May saw 67,863,107 kilogrammes of Kenyan tea presented to the auction, marking a significant increase from 60,121,444 kilogrammes that were offered in May last year.
