Kenya urged to search for new tea markets @kenya

r
KENYA looses about Sh450 million annually on poor tea
sales in the international markets, a Mombasa businessman
has said.
DL Koisagat Tea Company proprietor David Langat said
farmers lack motivation because of low prices.
He was speaking on Tuesday night at a meeting in
Mombasa with tea farmers from Rift Valley. Langat said
Kenya has a big potential in tea production.
However, he said, the government and private investors
should look for new markets for Kenya's tea.
He said Sri Lanka sells more tea to Russia and US, despite
the fact that Kenya has better quality tea.
