Tea factories have started reviewing the green leaf monthly payment following a decision by the KTDA Holding Board after last year's protest by growers.

In the review, the factory boards in Embu and Nyeri counties approved an increase of the green leaf payment to Sh30 per kg from the previous Sh25 per kg of green leaf, with the payment expected on February 5.
