Tea Price.
Kenya is the world's largest black-tea exporter, and the Mombasa auction — where Kenyan, Ugandan, Rwandan and Malawian teas change hands weekly — is the global reference for CTC tea. Few commodities are as African-priced as tea: the benchmark itself is set in Mombasa.
Country-level prices
What the farmer is actually paid — farmgate, exchange and export prices the global benchmark never shows.
Country-level farmgate and exchange prices for tea — sourced from Kenya, Malawi, Uganda regulators — are being wired in. Each will carry its source, cadence and as-of date.
Benchmark price history
Africa's role
The global benchmark is sourced from public EIA/FRED series. African country-level prices are seasonal regulator announcements and exchange reports, each stored with its source, cadence and as-of date. Prices are for informational purposes only and are not real-time.
