TBK Cracks Down on Green Leaf Weighing Malpractices in Bomet
THIS MUST STOP!!!


After outcry of tea farmers on tea weighing scale machines, a multi agency team comprising of officers from Tea Board of Kenya, Weghts and Measures Department and Sub county Security team conducted a raid at Tea Buying Centers in Bomet County, Konoin Sub-county, following a directive by Principal Secretary, State Department for Agriculture, Dr.Kipronoh Ronoh Paul

The operation uncovered cases of tampering with weighing scales, and action was taken against individuals found engaging in the malpractice.

Such practices must stop. Every kilogramme of green leaf delivered by a farmer matters, and no farmer should lose their rightful earnings through manipulation of weighing equipment.

At TBK, the farmer remains our number one priority. We will continue working with relevant agencies to strengthen compliance, protect farmers from exploitation, uphold transparency in the tea value chain, and safeguard the integrity of Kenya's globally respected tea.
