Tea farmers in Kenya are suffering after production fell by as much as a third. Margaret Maina told the Âé¶¹Éç's Anne Soy that it is having a massive dent on her family's finances. The country is the world's leading exporter of the commodity and this dip in output could hit the economy, as well as livelihoods. The Kenya Tea Development Authority - the body that manages the crop's production - says as many as four million Kenyans are affected. (Photo: Tea Farmer, Central Kenya, Credit: Âé¶¹Éç)
