The Mombasa tea auction has moved its transactions to a $2.12 million digital platform dubbed Integrated Tea Trading System (iTTS). The iTTS launched by the East African Tea Trade Association (EATTA) last week, follows two years of piloting and will end the physical interaction of tea traders at the auction house.
EATTA chairperson Arthur Sawe said the platform, which was funded by the Danish International Development Agency (Danida), will increase the profits of farmers and dealers by cutting operation costs.
