Limuru Tea PLC reported a significantly wider net loss of KShs 22.2 million for the first half of 2025, a sharp increase from a KShs 6.8 million loss in the same period last year, primarily due to escalating labour costs despite modest revenue growth.

• The net loss widened to KShs 22.2 million, translating to earnings per share of KShs -9.25.
• Limuru Tea PLC, a listed agricultural company, cited rising labour and production costs as key factors.
• Turnover increased by 8% to KShs 56.8 million, and tea volumes rose by 5% to 433 tons, but these gains were overshadowed by operational cost pressures.
