Indian Tea Industry

Altogether, 45.86 million kg tea was exported from India between January to March in 2021. The figure was 52.85 million kg in 2020.

The Indian Tea Association on Monday hiked the minimum per day wage of workers by an interim amount of Rs 26. This was after the Gauhati High Court put the onus on raising wages on tea plantation owners. The decision was taken at a meeting of the association's national committee.

The internationally known Assam tea has got a saviour from space -- NASA's soil mission that will rejuvenate the tea industry that is currently facing many hurdles including climate change.

The Home Ministry has alleged that Greenpeace is hurting the Indian tea industry, which employs 35 lakh workers and earned $ 644 million from exports last year, by projecting abroad that homegrown leaves of the beverage have hazardous pesticides.
