Uganda Tea Association (UTA) is the umbrella body of 95% of tea farmers and processors both small and big in Uganda. UTA was formed in 1948 as a voluntary Association of Tea Producers to meet and discuss common problems affecting the tea industry and find solutions. The Association continued to be active throughout the period of Uganda’s history; except for the period from1973 till 1983 when it remained dormant.
Tea Association of Malawi
Founded in 1934, the Tea Association of Malawi Limited (TAML) is one of the oldest organisations in Malawi. TAML was established with the aim of representing the entire tea industry both nationally and internationally on matters of interest to tea growers and producers. The association dates back to before Malawi received its independence in 1964. Before that date the Nyasaland Tea Research Association body founded with research as its main objective, had been in existence for about five years.
