Reduced rainfall in tea-growing zones resulted in dampened production, with volumes dropping 15.2 percent during the first four months of this year to 188.68 million kilogrammes down from 222.6 million kilogrammes in a similar period last year, data now shows.
Industry figures from the Tea Board of Kenya (TBK) further indicate that the dip in quantity resulted in a 17.7 percent drop in sales volumes to 137.8 million kilogrammes down from the 167.5 million kilogrammes recorded in the four months to April 2024.
