Sri Lanka\u2019s tea harvest experienced a slight uptick in October 2025 compared to the previous year, according to provisional data from Forbes & Walker Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, this overall gain masked varying performances across the different growing elevations, with only the Low Grown segment reporting an increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The total crop for October stood at 21.78 million kilogrammes Mnkg, a marginal rise of 0.50 Mnkg over the 21.28 Mnkg recorded in October 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the overall monthly figure improved year-on-year, production in the High Grown and Medium Grown areas actually saw a decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Low Grown segment bucked the trend, showing a 5.96 rise to 14.34 Mnkg, making it the sole segment with positive growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the year to date, cumulative production for January to October reached 220.97 Mnkg, an increase of 2.82 Mnkg compared to the 218.15 Mnkg during the same period in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All elevations showed gains over the 2024 corresponding period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forbes & Walker Research highlighted that while the overall cumulative figures show a modest recovery, the shifting output at the elevation level indicates an ongoing period of uneven growth for the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
