New markets push tea exports up despite production setback
Kenya recorded a significant increase in tea exports to non-traditional and emerging markets, a Tea Board of Kenya performance report shows. The August report showed an expansion in exports, particularly to emerging markets, apart from Afghanistan, Ireland, Japan, Jordan, Canada and Türkiye. “During the month, Chad and South Sudan continued to expand rapidly as emerging markets for Kenya tea,” the report indicated. There were shipments to seasonal markets such as Bangladesh, Australia, Georgia, Burkina Faso, Kyrgyzstan, Mali, Mexico, Guinea, Cameroon, Togo and Israel.
