Indian records highest ever tea production

Xinhua, June 17, 2016 Adjust font size:

India recorded total tea production of 1.233 billion kg during fiscal year 2015-16, the highest ever recorded by the country so far, said officials Friday.

As compared to 2014-15, the total tea production registered an increase of 35.96 million kg which is 3 percent more than last year.

A Tea Board of India statement stated that Indian tea achieved another record during the fiscal year when it registered export of 232.92 million kg.

Increase of tea exports were registered mainly to Russia, Iran, Germany, Pakistan, Bangladesh, United Arab Emirates and Poland.

The increase in production of tea was mainly attributable to north India plantations, while South India's production declined due to adverse climatic conditions and labor issues. Endit
