About 1,200 Kenyan families in Limuru, Kiambu County, plan to set up a factory dealing in specialty tea, in a move aimed at boosting farmers’ earnings from the crop.

The factory will be built at Ngarariga and its value-added tea products will be exported to Kenya's non-traditional markets including Uzbekistan, Kazakstan, and Tajikistan, according to the organisation representing the 1,200 residents.
