NAIROBI, Sept. 27 (Xinhua) -- Kenya's revenues from tea exports are projected to hit 150 billion shillings (about 1.01 billion U.S. dollars) in 2023, up from 932 million dollars recorded last year, a senior government official said Wednesday.
Rigathi Gachagua, deputy president of Kenya, told an agricultural forum in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, that the East African nation is expected to realize higher returns in 2023 as a result of the ongoing tea reforms including the provision of subsidized fertilizers for tea farmers, which will result in higher production volumes.
