Kenya’s earnings from tea exports fell in the financial year ended June 2025, marking the first drop in seven years, largely weighed down by reduced orders from the country’s biggest buyer, Pakistan, and a firmer shilling that eroded the value of export receipts.
Analysis of official data shows total tea export earnings dropped by 13.41 percent to Sh176.76 billion in the financial year 2024-25, down from a record Sh204.14 billion the previous year.
