CTC Leaf:
Market: Select demand was witnessed on the brighter liquoring teas which sold at irregularly easier levels
by Rs2.00 to Rs3.00. The better medium and medium teas met with fair demand and sold at
irregularly lower prices by up to Rs2.00 initially, but as the sale progressed prices settled to a steady
market especially on the improved teas. The fannings grades in this category were barely steady.
The plainer teas came to a lower market by up to Rs2.00.
Buying Pattern: Western India buyers were fairly active. Major blender operated on the better medium teas. The
other upcountry buyers were rather selective. Poland exporters  operated on the medium and
plainer bolder grades at lower levels. CIS shippers operated at fair strength on the medium
brokens. Pakistan exporters continued to operate on the cleaner, blacker sorts.

brokens sold at firm to occasionally dearer prices with the fibrous secondaries being absorbed at
irregular levels. The BOPFs also met with good demand and sold dearer on quality.
Buying Pattern: Internal buyers were rather active along with the exporters on the whole leaf grades. Karnataka
and other local buyers lent useful support on the range of teas on offer.
