Week 31, 2019

Tea market report 29 July – 2 August 2019

Sale 31 in Mombasa witnessed considerable demand for the 146K pkgs on offer compared to 148K the previous week. There was animated interest right from the 1st catalog leading to generally firm to dearer rates for the better teas and steady to easier rates for the medium and plainer types. Absorption was fairly good, and the momentum was maintained throughout the sale. With reports of overall cool and overcast weather conditions in the entire region, low crop levels have continued.
