The Business of Kenyan Tea Farmers

As the world’s biggest exporter of black tea and third biggest exporter of all teas, Kenya plays an important role in the global tea economy.

Smallholder tea farmers are now being encouraged to innovate and embrace the value-added process to stay competitive and weather the market volatility. Bloomberg’s Jennifer Zabasajja spoke with some trying to do just that in Limuru, Kenya.
