Asia Siyaka Tea Brokers said in their weekly market report that Rs. 19.2 billion earned from tea exports in January 2021 was a healthy indicator, which reflected a six per cent increase over the corresponding month in 2020.
In January 2020, tea export earnings were Rs. 18 billion (US$ 101 million).
The Sri Lanka Tea Board said production in January 2021 was 23 million kilos, a year-on-year increase in comparison to 21. 9 million kilos in January 2020.
Planters in Maskeliya attributed the enhanced production to continuous growing weather conditions through January, leading to a crop upsurge resulting in positive results for the industry.
The Asia Siyaka Tea Brokers report further said in the low grown sector, comprising mainly tea smallholders, year-on-year, gain was 14. 9 million kilos, which contributed to the positive results. Western and mid grown results, although positive, were not as high as low growns.
