Tea sale sees good demand
UNB, Chittagong
The weekly tea sale here yesterday again witnessed quite a good demand, especially for better liquoring teas, with more interest from blenders and packeteers and fairly good support from the loose tea trade.The Afghan buyers operated selectively for clean well-made brokens, according to a market report. Dusts saw a good market but generally eased slightly. CTC leaf: 13,354 g/s. 1,985 ppws, 1,661 c/s, and (1,218 g/s of old season) on offer continued to meet with a fairly good demand. Brokens: Black well made Brokens were again a good market and generally sold at around last levels, selling between Tk 65 and Tk 70. All others were generally a little easier declining by Tk 1 to Tk 2 following quality. Large brokens were a good market and generally steady. Fannings: Well-made good liquoring fannings met with a strong demand at around last levels and occasionally dearer following competition, selling between Tk 68 and Tk 74. Others also sold quite well around last levels. The dearer lines realised between Tk 65 and Tk 67. CTC dust: 1,742 g/s, 519 ppws, 106 c/s and (60 g/s of old season) on offer meet with a good demand but at easier rates. RDs/PDs/Ds eased by Tk 2 to Tk 5 following quality and CDs eased by Tk 5 to Tk 10. Internal market lent a good support.
