CTC LEAF: 57,714 packages of  tea on offer continued to meet with a fair demand.

BROKENS: Good liquoring Brokens were a fairly good market with larger varieties depreciating further with fair withdrawals. Other Brokens were only a fair market and eased by Tk.5/-to Tk.10/- per kg. BLF teas met with less demand but where sold, prices were slightly higher than last.

FANNINGS: Good liquoring Fannings met with a fairly good demand but once again were easier compared to last. Mediums and plainer varieties were a fair market but here again there was a fair decline in prices over last. BLF teas met with less demand but where sold, prices were slightly higher than last.

DUST: 11,381 packages of tea on offer met with a good demand. Good liquoring Dusts sold well at easier rates. Their Mediums met with a good demand and sold at a drop of Tk.5/- to Tk.10/- closely following quality. Plain/BLF Dusts were a good market  and saw a little less withdrawals compared to last. Blenders lent good support with fair interest from the Loose tea buyers.

COMMENTS: Like the previous week, offerings continued to show a decline in quality and buyers strictly followed quality. As a result, there was less competition and prices eased across the board. Withdrawals were similar to last. Blenders were quite active but Loose tea buyers continued to show less interest.

Dusts were an easier market.
