SRI Lanka's tea export earnings in the first eight months of 2025 has reached its highest level since 2014, according to Customs data analysed by Asia Siyaka Research.

Sri Lanka exported 174.5 million kilograms (Mnkg) of tea during the period January-August 2025, up 7% from 162.5 Mnkg a year earlier, earning an export revenue of Rs. 306 billion or $1.2 billion in the eight-month period, compared to Rs. 288 billion or $ 942 million a year ago.

"Interestingly the 2025 US dollar earnings for the period ending August are the highest since 2014 when the country recorded $ 1.09 billion. In that year, however, the total quantity shipped for the period was 214 Mnkg," Asia Siyaka Research said.
