Coonoor: Global tea production so far this year has increased by 39.46 million kg over the corresponding period last year to touch 1,348.42 mkg.
An analysis of the information available with the Tea Board and International Tea Committee shows that production would have been still higher had it not been for the substantial fall in India and Sri Lanka. In Sri Lanka, till September, the output totalled 219.4 mkg, 18.7 mkg lower than that of last year.
