The Kenya Tea Development authority will pay farmers a record 38.2billion shilling following a record harvest that raked in 49.4 billion shillings this year. On average small scale farmers will earn 43sh and 2 cents per kilo of green leaf they delivered to the 60 KTDA factories across the country, marking a turn of events only a year after some farmers uprooted their crop following a decline in fortunes. Wanjiru Gaitho reports.
