Medium varieties were also well supported and sold around Tk.190/- and Tk.195/-. The plain types met with a fair demand but generally sold at a discount.

FANNINGS: Well made bright liquoring Fannings were strongly competed for and sold between Tk.205/- and Tk.215/-.

Plainest types saw only a fair demand and were generally discounted with prices ranging between Tk.165/- and Tk.175/-. There were some withdrawals in this category. 

CTC DUST: 2,623 packages and 148 packages of Old Season teas on offer met with a good demand. Select few lines of good liquoring RDs/Ds met with a strong competition and sold around Brokers' valuations and higher and these could be quoted between Tk.205/- and Tk.220/-. CDs also sold well with the best lines selling between Tk.280/- and Tk.291/-. Blenders lent strong support with fair interest from the Loose tea buyers.

COMMENTS: This was the First Sale of the season which witnessed a good demand. There was fair enquiry from the Blenders whilst Internal Loose tea buyers operated strongly. As a result, prices realised were higher compared to the First Sale of the previous Season.

Good liquoring Ds and CDs were the bright feature of the sale.

Our catalogue (This week) Avg: Tk.206.06, sold 95.58%.
