NAIROBI, Oct. 1 (Xinhua) — Kenya's tea exports fell slightly in August hurt by COVID-19 restrictions in some crucial destination markets.
The east African nation exported 34.03 million kilograms of tea during the month, down from 38.55 million in July, new data released by the Tea Directorate on Thursday showed.
During the month, the tea was shipped to 49 destinations, a slight decline from 53 in July, according to the directorate.
Pakistan maintained the top destination of Kenyan tea during the month, importing 13.73 million kilograms which accounts for some 40 percent of export volumes.
Other key destinations included Britain, Russia and Egypt.
During the month, there was a significant increase in exports to traditional markets such as Russia, Jordan, India and China, said the directorate.
It noted that difficulties in accessing some markets due to COVID-19 persisted in the month, making distribution and trade logistics harder.
But despite decline in exports, production during the month rose to 38.5 million kilograms up from 36.5 million in July following cessation of the cold weather condition coupled with gradual increase in rainfall in the Rift Valley, main growing regions.
"The total export volume for the period January to August was lower by 4 percent at 323 million kilograms compared to 337 million kilograms recorded in a similar period in 2019," noted the government agency.
Locally, consumption between January and August stood at 27.4 million kilograms, down from 27.9 million kilograms in a similar period in 2019.
