Sri Lanka's tea exports is likely to grow by 15 per cent for 2008 against the landmark one billion dollar export mark on top of high output due to favourable weather conditions this year, according to experts.
The rise in demand for Sri Lankan black tea from Russia, Iran and Libya is likely to push tea exports from the island country to a new high in 2008, they said.
