Indian tea exporters plan to cash in on droughts in Kenya
Kenyan tea production for February 2006 saw a slump of more than 50% compared to the same period last year. The output of 24,7 million kilograms, which is 34% below Januarys figures, is the lowest monthly production the industry has seen in the last five years. India, on the other hand, is hoping that droughts, which have left a gap of 30 million kilograms in world markets, will benefit its exports. The worlds biggest tea producer hopes that countries like Russia and Pakistan will turn its way for supply of quality tea.
