Leaders of tea factories in Nyeri and Kirinyaga counties have requested more time to negotiate the management agent contract.

The directors from at least 10 tea processing factories made the request after they met potential agents namely Kenya Tea Development Agency Management Services (KTDA MS), Tropical, Eastern Produce Kenya and Williamson Tea officials during the negotiation platforms organised by the Tea Board of Kenya (TBK).
