The government is planning tighter regulations to streamline Kenya's multi-billion-shilling tea sector and protect more than 800,000 farmers from exploitation.
The proposed rules will map all players across the tea value chain and strengthen oversight by the Tea Board of Kenya (TBK). The regulator will enforce penalties targeting malpractices such as hawking of green leaf across regions and theft at processing factories.
