Small-scale tea farmers have received a major boost following the delivery of the second consignment of 45,000 metric tonnes of fertiliser.

The consignment completes the 95,500 metric tonnes of fertiliser that the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) Management Services had planned to import on behalf of more than 600,000 smallholder tea farmers in the country this year.
