Methodology

Williamson Tea Kenya operates two named tea estate clusters plus timber land. 3-row breakdown: - Kapchorua Tea Company estates (Nandi Hills): mature tea with factory - Williamson Tea Kenya estates (Tinderet area): mature tea with factory - Eastern Highlands timber + minor diversified Per-acre marks (KSh 200,000-250,000/acre) translate to ~$2,000-2,500 USD/acre at KES 100/USD — at the high end of Kenyan tea estate transactions per KTDA 2024 broker comps. Williamson's book value reflects decades-old colonial-era cost basis, materially below current market. Yahoo coverage of Nairobi tickers is spotty so live-price portion of comp may not resolve.
