Coonoor May 3 A low volume of 7.39 lakh kgs has been catalogued for Sale No: 18 of the Coonoor Tea Trade Association (CTTA) here this week.

This is marginally higher than the volume of 7.17 lakh kgs offered last week. Barring that, this is the lowest volume of the last six weeks.

In the corresponding sale of last year, as much as 10.87 lakh kgs had been offered. That time, the leaf supply alone totalled 7.52 lakh kgs - that is, more than the combined total of leaf and dust on offer now.

In the leaf category, only 0.34 lakh kgs belong to the orthodox while 4.80 lakh kgs belong to the CTC variety. In the dust category, only 0.35 lakh kgs belong to the orthodox variety and only 6.70 lakh kgs belong to the CTC variety.
