Description
Kenya's tea industry has come a long way since experimental plantings by enterprising settlers in the early 1900s. Today, the country is the largest supplier of tea to world markets, thanks to the combined efforts of major tea companies and smallholder farmers.
The evolution of these complementary modes of production is traced through the industry's development from an international restriction scheme to post-war expansion and the creation of an agency that enabled small farmers to grow tea successfully. However, challenges still face the tea industry today.
