NAIROBI Hombre Nike Air VaporMax Laceless Negras Night Zapatillas Baratas , July 13 (Xinhua) -- Kenya plans to expand local tea consumption due to global oversupply of the commodity that is pushing down prices, officials said on Friday.

The Interim Head of Tea Directorate at the Agriculture Food Authority (AFA) Samuel Ogola told a media briefing that a current oversupply of tea at the international market is affecting farmers' earnings.

"Out of the annual production of 450 million kgs of tea, only 30 million is consumed locally. Our strategy is expand it, so that Kenyan tea farmers can be cushioned from the global glut of tea Hombre Nike Air Vapormax Flyknit 2018 Blancas Baratas ," Ogola said during the Tea Packers Symposium.

The tea directorate plans to increase the share of local consumption from the current 6.6 percent to 15 percent in the next five years.

The strategy to expand domestic consumption includes aggressive marketing of the beverage to the rapidly growing youth population.

Government data indicates that Kenya's per capita tea consumption stands at 0.5 kgs compared to the global average of 1 kg per person per year.

Ogola said that Kenya's tea consumption can rise to 0.75 kg per capita in the next three years through intensive brand promotion by the local tea packers as well as intense sales by factories through factory door sales.

Kenya is the third top tea producer in the world after China and India.

"However both Asian nations consume the bulk of their tea locally as compared to Kenya which exports most of its produce," Ogola said.

LONDON, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) -- The Confucius Institute for Traditional Chinese Medicine (CITCM) Air Vapormax Flyknit 2018 Hombre Nike Negras Baratas , the first and largest of its kind in the world, celebrated its anniversary on Tuesday after a decade of painstaking efforts in promoting cultural exchanges between China and Britain.

At the celebration held at London South Bank University, pupils from Highgate Primary School sang the Manual of Youth by TFBoys, a popular boy band in China. Their standard Mandarin and excellent performance won loud applause from the audience.

Xu Yinong Hombre NikeLab Air VaporMax Flyknit Be True Azul Baratas , director of the CITCM, told Xinhua that the institute has been working with local schools for 10 years and has established more than 70 long-standing partnerships.

One of the schools is Highgate Primary School, which has been working with CITCM since 2011 and was awarded Confucius Classroom status after four years of profound commitment to Mandarin teaching, said Xu. It opened in 2017 a spectacular Chinese classroom that promises to further enhance the Mandarin learning experience for students and teachers.

"We look forward to continuing our work with Highgate and celebrating a similar level of success with other schools in London Mujer Nike Air Presto BR Zapatillas Rosa Baratas ," said the director.

Founded in 2007, the CITCM now has a total of 68 Hanban volunteers and 32 Hanban teachers. Hanban is the colloquial abbreviation for the Office of Chinese Language Council International, which is affiliated with the Chinese Ministry of Education and charged with cultivating knowledge and interest in the Chinese language and culture around the world.

"Initially, many partner schools only required clubs Hombre Nike Air Presto Azul Blancas Baratas , cultural activities and roadshows. However, over the last two years, we have been engaged in enhancing the outcome of the teaching program by embedding Mandarin in the curriculum. As a result of our effort, a total of 42 schools have successfully embedded Mandarin in their curriculum Hombre Nike Air Presto QS Gris Baratas ," Xu said.

The CITCM also offers a series of carefully designed services including Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK) courses, summer trips to China and scholarship programs. These initiatives have greatly enhanced the students' overall learning experience and academic development.

Yessica Lerma, a CITCM student, said she is grateful to the institute for heightening her academic performance by introducing the marvels of the Chinese language and culture.

"The knowledge gained through CITCM has given me the confidence to apply for and successfully obtain a highly prestigious job. I will be forever grateful for all the help and support in enhancing my university experience and personal academic development Hombre Nike Air Presto QS Zapatillas Azul Baratas ," she said.

The CITCM is the first Confucius Institute in the world to have a specialized focus on traditional Chinese medicine. It offers an integrated BSc and Master course in acupuncture, whose practical aspects of training can be conducted in the institute's own on-site clinics.
