McLeod Russel India Ltd, the world’s largest tea planter, said it has incorporated a trading outfit in Kenya to procure and supply African tea to the company’s Dubai blending unit. The Dubai blending unit is the second such facility for the company. McLeod Russel, the BM Khaitan group company, has a blending unit at Kolkata. “These units serve the global blended tea market for the company,” said senior official of the company. “It is too early to say the quantum of tea the new trading unit will handle. It is the opening of a new window, which is yet to be capitalised,” he said. McLeod Russel has plantations spread across Asia and Africa. Borelli Tea Holdings Ltd, the wholly owned subsidiary of the company, has set up a McLeod Russel Africa Ltd. It was incorporated on May 20. “Initially, the company proposes to engage in tea trading activities in Africa,” the company said.
