Coonoor, Jan. 7

Global tea production increased in 2007 aided principally by Kenya. According to the latest information available with the Tea Board, the output rose by 46.88 million kg (mkg) in the 10 months of 2007 over the corresponding period of last year.

The production rose to 1552.13 mkg from 1505.25 mkg.
