The farmers' marketing agency, Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA), has announced Sh84 billion in revenue this year, up from Sh63.5 billion last year.

The growers will earn Sh44 billion on average as the final payment, normally referred to as a bonus. A total of Sh17 billion has already been paid to farmers as an initial payment.

Announcing the results, KTDA managing director Lerionka Tiampati said this has been the best year in the history of the company.
