KOLKATA, SEPT. 9:
This week at sale no 36, the total offerings (packages) at three North Indian tea auction centres at Kolkata, Guwahati and Siliguri were 4,26,229 compared with 3,68,201 in the corresponding sale of last year, according to the tea auctioneers, J Thomas & Company Pvt Ltd.
The offerings at Kolkara were 1,92,122 (1,84,105) comprising CTC/Dust 1,48,661 (1,31,044), Orthodox 36,782 (46,617 ) and Darjeeling 6,689 (6,444). There was a drop in offerings of Orthodox. The figures for Guwahati were 1,26,099 (99,188) and for Siliguri 1,07,998 (84,908).
Assam CTCs maintaining quality were around last and irregularly lower, particularly fannings. There was good demand for the plainer sorts which sold readily. Dooars were irregular around last levels. Tata Global was the mainstay while there was improved enquiry from Hindustan Unilever. Western India dealers were active for the liquoring sorts. The enquiries from North India and from local sections were fair. There were good export enquiries for bolder brokens and fannings.
Clean well made orthodox whole leaf grades were firm, while the remaining whole leaf grades tended irregularly easier. Smaller broken grades were firm while the larger brokens were irregular around last. Continental buyers operated on the tippy sorts. Darjeeling whole leaf varieties sold at irregular rates. Brokens and fannings sold at around last levels. There were useful enquiries from traditional exporters as well as the major blenders.
