Tea Sector, Which A Whole Was Lurching - Oct 8, 2008

Kochi: The tea sector, which as a whole was lurching under a crisis for the past several years, has now began picking up with the steadily increasing demand both from domestic and foreign market, Mr M.K. Ajit, Chairman of Tea Buyers Association, Kochi, has said. Addressing the 35th annual general meeting of the association, he said several other competing countries were also strengthening their foothold in the world market. It is, therefore, highly essential for tea gardens to increase productivity with a special thrust on the quality.
