Tea output rises 23%; exports up 11% in Jan-Feb

摘要

The year has begun on a promising note for the tea sector, with production growing 17 per cent in February. The volume and value of exports as well as unit value realisations increased last fiscal. However, the growth in tea production has not been uniform, with production from all the northern regions - Assam Valley, Cachar, Darjeeling, Dooars and Terai - witnessing falling trends over last year. Production spurts have been reported from the southern regions of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala.
