12-week high price at Coonoor tea auction
May 17, 2021
No takers for 20% of the offer
The average price at Sale 19 of the auction of Coonoor Tea Trade Association (CTTA) rose to a 12-week high level of ₹125.87 a kg – up from previous week’s ₹121.53.
However, as various States imposed stringent Covid-19 restrictions, the demand was generally weak resulting in withdrawals across the different lots.
In all, teas worth ₹5.78 crore remained unsold as there were no takers for some 20 per cent of the offer.
“The green tea of Pascoes Woodlands topped the entire auctions when Komal Enterprises bought it for ₹301 a kg,” Ravichandran Broos, General Manager of Paramount Tea Marketing, who auctioned this tea, told
