This is the all-time high price fixed for the month of May all these years
Tea Board has announced that the district average price for the green leaf of the small growers in The Nilgiris district during May is ₹18.63 a kg.
This is the all-time high price fixed for the month of May all these years.
Tea Board’s Executive Director Dr M Balaji said that this was fixed based on the consolidated auction price of CTC teas from bought leaf factories in April.
He said that all bought leaf factories should adhere to this price while buying green leaf from small growers in May. He has instructed all field officials to ensure that no factory in their jurisdiction paid less than this price to the growers this month.
