Private sales at GTAC has grown marginally from 21.0 million kilograms during 2005-06 to 21.5 million kilograms up to end January 2007.
Globally there is no shortfall in production of tea.
A record all India crop nearly offsets shortfall in Kenyan and Indonesian production.

The all India crop up to end December 2006 registered an all time record of 956 million kilograms.
North Indian teas have averaged Rs. 8.82 per Kg. more than last year.
Indian Orthodox teas seem to have regained their flavor and suitably augmented averages for producers of orthodox teas.
All in all a reasonably good season except for the fact that we could not really take advantage of the shortfall in Kenyan production.
Given the Kenyan shortfall of 17.92 million kilograms, it was expected that Indian tea exports should have been higher than the 195.45 million kilograms exported during the calendar year 2007. (Tea Board has of course released a revised export figure of 203 million kilograms for the period.)
Highlights 2006
Assam has had useful rains during February 2007. Provided we have good sunshine during the next few days, it is expected that we may see a slightly early start to the season.
Subject to ground temperatures rising we may even have a bumper first flush to boot.
On the supply side auctions are running dry and 3 sales are being dropped in each of the three north Indian auction centers.
While there still appears to be sufficient stocks in the mandis, we understand that there is a dearth of good teas. In fact, for a variety of reasons the domestic market has been starved of quality since mid October 2006.
We are therefore convinced that new season teas will witness attractive opening levels, particularly for the above average quality.
Depending on export performance, medium Assams are likely to be under some supply side pressure from July onwards. However, we do not foresee any drastic changes in levels over season 2006-07.
Prospects 2007
Consistent and growing demand from Russia and West Asian countries will ensure that more orthodox tea is produced during the coming season. Egypt has brought down its import duty on tea from 5% to 2%. All these will not only boost exports but will also ease the pressure on CTC teas.
On the flip side, Kenyan crop has shown a smart recovery and the coming season is likely to be a normal harvesting season. Their production during January 2007 is up 132% at 41.6 million kilograms against 17.94 million kilogram last year. This may play on the psyche of the domestic traders to some extent.
However, domestic consumption of tea has definitely grown over the years and is currently pegged at over 800 million kilograms. If this estimate is correct, then all we have to do is export 200 million kilograms for the domestic market to find an equilibrium!
An area of concern for the auctions is the growing trend between bigger buyers and producers to source/sell teas directly. This weakens the auction system and indirectly affects price realization for producers.
Overall our approach to the new season is one of cautious optimism where quality rather than quantity will be the key to reaping dividends.
Prospects 2007
We thank you once again
for your valuable support
and
wish you the very best
in season 2007-08.
