Week 39, 2019

Tea market report 23 – 27 September 2019

It was a yet again an effervescent market in Mombasa this week with good absorption across the board. Outlots were low at 9.14% (12,500 pkgs) compared with last 11.67% (15,100 pkgs). The room saw Pakistan packers more assertive. Afghanistan again came on strong, along with a major buyer, particularly on WoR PF1 sorts. Even the medium and lower types received good support due to demand from the UK, Sudan, the Bazar, and the reality that Indian teas have been restricted into Pakistan.
