May 11 (TheLedger) - Sri Lanka's tea exports reached 28,400 tonnes in October, the highest monthly total in nearly a decade, the Tea Board confirmed on Tuesday.
Driving the surge: stronger demand from Germany, the Netherlands, and Poland, where Ceylon black tea has regained shelf space following two years of supply-chain disruption. Average auction prices were 4.2% higher year-on-year.
Export earnings for the month came in at USD 134 million.
