Kenya’s tea earnings grew by Sh9 billion in seven months to July helped by higher value per unit and a weak shilling that offset a sharp drop in imports by the country’s top buyers of the beverage.

Data from the Tea Directorate shows that earnings in the review period expanded to Sh80 billion when compared with the Sh71 billion recorded in the corresponding season last year.
