United Kingdom ·
Camellia is a UK group of agricultural businesses with operations in Asia, Africa and South America, run from Wrotham in Kent. Rather than one single farming company, it owns a set of operating companies, among them Goodricke, Duncan Brothers, Eastern Produce and Kakuzi. Each of these manages its own estates and farms and processes the crop locally. Tea remains the group's main source of revenue, while avocado, macadamia, blueberries and arable crops broaden what it grows.
In practice the group works much like a family of producers. Tea is plucked on the estates and processed in nearby factories, then sold to importers who choose teas by origin, processing style and batch samples. Avocado and nut buyers deal with the businesses that grow those crops and agree varieties, size grades, delivery seasons and packaging. Because products and sales channels differ by country and operating company, trade enquiries go to the business that handles the relevant product.
Size of the business
Camellia's revenue from continuing activities was GBP 268 million in 2025. In May 2026 the group described around 48,000 hectares of mature land owned and managed by its operating companies in seven countries, a measure of its operating footprint rather than its harvest.
Is Kakuzi part of Camellia?
Yes. Kakuzi is one of Camellia's operating companies, and its operations are covered within the Camellia group.
Does GBP 268 million represent tea revenue alone?
No. It is the group's total revenue from continuing activities in 2025, covering tea as well as its fruit, nut and arable businesses.
