President William Ruto directs Trade ministry to develop a Kenyan tea brand

The government has embarked on a plan to ensure branding of Kenyan tea to increase its visibility in the global market. President William Ruto has taken the initiative and directed the Ministry of Trade to develop a Kenyan tea brand to guarantee farmers good returns. The Head of State noted that for a long time Kenya has helped other countries to brand their tea with the good quality Kenyan tea, saying that the practice must change. President Ruto spoke at the Kenyatta International Convention Center in Nairobi when he flagged off the first consignment of Kenyan tea destined for Accra, Ghana, under the African Continental Free Trade Area guided trade initiative.
