The total market for tea in Kenya is very small. I think we consume 10% of the total production. Plus the quality sold in the Kenyan market is relatively 'poor' i.e. the priciest (quality) Tea is exported.
Kenyans like mitumba & china stuff... & the same goes for tea!
Since all our immediate neighbors are tea producers, the only markets are in UK, Middle East, etc...
