KTDA Announces Plan for Separation of Satellite Factory Accounts
The Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) has addressed recent concerns from farmers regarding the financial separation of satellite factories from their parent factories.
In response, KTDA, led by Group Chief Executive Officer Wilson Muthaura, convened a tripartite meeting on Wednesday, chaired by Agriculture Principal Secretary Dr. Paul Ronoh. The meeting also included representatives from the Tea Board of Kenya. The primary agenda was to outline a roadmap for the separation of accounts between satellite and parent factories.
KTDA is set to continue its engagement with factory directors next week. The discussions will focus on the 17 satellite factories affected by this initiative. The agency has expressed its commitment to ensuring a fair and beneficial outcome for smallholder farmers, who are a critical stakeholder group.
Farmers are encouraged to maintain their regular tea production activities while these consultations are ongoing. KTDA emphasizes its dedication to addressing farmer concerns and ensuring their interests are well represented throughout the process.
