Tea production for the month of February 2025 was lower by 10.83 Million Kgs (13.49%) from 55.44 Million Kgs recorded during the same period of 2024 to 44.61 Million Kgs. It was also lower compared to 54.36 Million Kgs recorded in the month of January this year. Drop in production was occasioned by hot and dry weather conditions experienced throughout the month with the exception of isolated areas over the Highlands West of the Rift Valley, Central and Highlands East of the Rift Valley which recorded minimal rainfall. Though February is usually the hottest month of the year, last year it was characterized by good weather conditions occasioned by El-nino phenomenon resulting in high tea production.
