Syria has lifted an import ban on value-added tea exports from Sri Lanka which had raised fears it could sharply reduce earnings from the island's main export product.

"There's now no ban by Syria," said Hasitha De Alwis, director promotions of the Sri Lanka Tea Board. "The ban on smaller packs has also been lifted." (Source: Agra-net)
