The business processed its first 22-tonne consignment in the emirate’s Jebel Ali port in March last year and is seeking to use the cosmopolitan city state to sell elsewhere in the Gulf – and beyond.
“More or less, we see Dubai as a large supermarket,” said Collins Cheruiyot, Kenya Tea Packers’ managing director. “It’s an opportunity for our product to be experienced by different nationalities – without us having to do direct shipment ourselves.”"
