A disparity has surfaced between the leaders of the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) over the prices of tea in some regions of the country.
Speaking during the Mombasa tea auction, directors of KTDA factories from west of the Rift accused KTDA managing agents of poorly pricing tea from the region putting a toll on the farmers.
The regions include Kisii, Nyamira, Kericho, Bomet, and Nandi counties.
The directors have raised concerns about the management of tea factories and the sale of processed tea below the government's set reserve price.
