ARISTON Private Limited, a diversified agriculture group, says tea production for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024 reached 3 070 tonnes, marking a 26 percent increase from the previous year’s total of 2 427 tonnes.
In its financial statement yesterday, the company’s chairman Alexander Jongwe said despite a challenging export landscape where prices fell by 21 percent, strong local demand helped maintain profitability for tea producers.
