The Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) is a private company that was established to manage the cultivation, processing, and marketing of tea in Kenya. It was formed in 1964 and has since played a significant role in the agricultural sector of the country.
History[edit | edit source]
The KTDA was originally established as a government agency to support small-scale tea farmers in Kenya. Over the years, it has transformed into a private entity, providing a range of services to tea farmers, including the supply of inputs, extension services, and the marketing of tea.
Operations[edit | edit source]
KTDA manages over 60 tea factories across the country, processing tea leaves from over 600,000 smallholder farmers. The agency is involved in the entire value chain of tea production, from agronomic support to farmers, to the processing and marketing of tea.
Impact[edit | edit source]
The agency has significantly contributed to the economy of Kenya, being one of the largest foreign exchange earners for the country. It has also improved the livelihoods of many smallholder farmers by providing them with a reliable market for their produce.
Challenges[edit | edit source]
Despite its successes, KTDA faces several challenges, including fluctuating global tea prices, climate change, and competition from other tea-producing countries. The agency is continuously working on strategies to mitigate these challenges and improve the sustainability of tea farming in Kenya.
