West Asia crisis hits orthodox tea shipments from Coonoor auctions, prices decline
The West Asia crisis has disrupted orthodox tea exports from the Coonoor auctions, leading to price declines of Rs3-4 per kg for whole leaf grades. Increased arrivals during the peak crop season helped maintain stable volumes, with Sale No. 29 recording 92% sales in the leaf category and 85% in dust. CTC and orthodox dust grades also saw varying price movements, according to Global Tea Auctioneers.
