Tea prices at the Mombasa auction are projected to rise in the fourth quarter on improved demand as winter sets in key markets.

The regulator, Tea Directorate, projects that the price of the commodity, which has for the better part of the year been at below $1 (109) a kilo, is expected to rise to $2 (Sh218), coming as a relief to farmers who have had to cope with lower earnings in 2020.
