Tea Prices Rise at Kochi Auctions

Tea prices went up at the Kochi auctions because of frost and crop loss in the Nilgiris.

The market was very busy, with almost all the tea offered being sold.

The prices for good quality tea increased by a few rupees, and even medium and plain teas became more expensive.

The auction was the last one of the year and was supported by a shortage in production and strong demand during the festive season and holidays.

The orthodox tea market was a bit slower, with only some teas being sold at similar prices to before.
