Kenyan Tea Industry

Kenyan tea industry is a major global exporter, primarily centered in the highland regions where the climate and soil are ideal for tea cultivation. It involves large-scale commercial plantations and smallholder farmers who grow and sell leaves to processing factories. The industry contributes significantly to Kenya's economy, providing employment and foreign exchange. Once harvested, tea leaves are processed into various products like black tea for both domestic consumption and export markets, including the UK, Middle East, and Africa. The success of Kenyan tea relies on quality standards, efficient logistics, and proper management throughout the supply chain.
