Kenyan export levy may raise tea prices
Kenya's proposed 0.8% tea export levy may increase prices in Pakistan, prompting traders to warn of economic challenges and potential shifts to alternative markets. Pakistan imports 36% of Kenya's annual tea production, and the levy could raise consumer costs, reduce consumption, and disrupt supply chains.
