Lanka Commodity Brokers Ltd. yesterday (11) announced a drastic decline in crop harvests from all planting districts following the inclement weather conditions prevailing in the Island. "Heavy rains have curtailed plucking of green leaf and crop intakes are reportedly down by as much as 50 percent according to plantation sources. Additionally, there is an increased incidence of Blister Blight from Uva, Western and Deniyaya districts which are experiencing adverse weather conditions and mist," it said.
"The immediate outlook for sustained tea production in the first quarter of 2011 is therefore not promising," Lanka Commodity Brokers said.
