Tea Prices in Kenya Increase After Months of Decline Due to Lower Exports to Russia

Tea prices in Kenya rose marginally at the weekly Mombasa auction in W38 to USD 2.25/kg from the previous price of USD 2.24/kg. This positive change comes after tea prices at the Mombasa auction have been dwindling over the past 7 months due to the continuous disruptions in the global market. Kenyan tea exports have decreased primarily due to the low import volume by Russia, which is a key buyer of Kenyan Tea.
