Black Tea Production Falls<br />
Global black tea production so far this calendar has dropped by 6.89% over the same period a year ago. The output fell to<br />
247.95 million kg from 266.30 mkg. This fall of 18.35 mkg is due to the fall of production in Sri Lanka, Kenya and Uganda.<br />
Adverse weather was said to be the cause for lower production in different countries. Weather has since improved and this<br />
month, most tea plantations have received showers.<br />
