COMMENTARY ON THE RESULTS
Good results were due to high crop volume as a result of favorable weather and improved prices for the better part of the financial year.

PROSPECTS
Crops are currently high, and prices have fallen steadily from the year end. However, prolonged rain has come with lower temperatures.
Thoughts of a bumber d'oh! year of harvest are probably inaccurate and we can look forward with some cautious optimism that global demand for decent teas will not collapse

Another vvs production;

https://www.businessdail...869114-lxvuu/index.html

Williamson Tea Kenya has sunk into Sh85 million net loss for the half year period ended September 2018 on depressed tea prices, down from the previous year’s profit of Sh43.4 million.
Finance costs hit Sh43.2 million, reversing the Sh24 million booked last year as finance income.

At the same time, the firm took a Sh43.2 million hit as share of loss from its associated companies. This was about six times larger than the Sh7.7 million loss from associates in the previous half year period.

The losses were booked despite increased tea production due to favourable weather conditions lifting turnover by 13.4 per cent to Sh1.97 billion from Sh1.73 billion booked in a similar period last year.

Operating profit fell by 40 per cent to Sh16.78 million on higher costs. Fair value of biological assets, mainly made up of value of tea growing in the farm, dropped by Sh50.2 million reflecting depressed prices of the commodity.

WTK: I like this firm. The management never over-promises. They are ALWAYS crying. Net cash exceeds KES 1.4bn Applause Applause Applause
Great dividends when they pay dividends. I got 20/- in 2018. These are the type of businesses Warren Buffett likes. The type of investment that doesn't bother us even if the stockmarket closes.
KTC: The "poor" cousin has only 367mn in cash. 10/- dividend in 2018. No net debt. Applause Applause Applause

Indian Tea Sales to Wilt as Kenyan Crop Jumps

Kenyan production is up but prices are bound to reduce. I wonder how this will affect WTK & other producers.

Will the falling volumes be offset by anticipated price increases? I doubt.

Multiple factors come in play.
- Production levels in India and Sri Lanka which are major competitors. If their production is steady or grows then Kenyan tea will face headwinds.
- Stocks held by tea firms/consumers. Lots of tea in storage will dampen the demand for "new" tea.
