The price of tea produced in Tanzania and Uganda grew marginally over the first nine months of 2025, defying an overall slump at the regional auction in Mombasa that hit other producers, including Rwanda, Kenya, and Burundi.
Updated data by the auction manager, the East Africa Tea Traders Association, showed that the average price of Tanzania’s tea sold at the auction climbed to $1.17 in the first nine months of 2025, compared to $0.77 in a similar window of 2024.
