Even if the crop is down and there is less tea available in the market, prices in the auction for CTC and dust tea which North Bengal (sans Darjeeling) produce, are trending with a negative bias, leaving the industry worried
GUWAHATI: Hailing Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a saviour of the Indian tea industry, Tea Board of India chairman PK Bezbaruah told TOI on Monday that people like Greta Thunberg should not be allowed to interfere in the country’s internal matters. Referring to the “toolkit” that the Swedish environment activist had shared on Twitter wherein it was said that India’s ‘yoga and chai’ image should be disrupted as part of the pushback against the contentious farm laws brought by the Centre, Bezbaruah added that international organizations with vested interests are trying to threaten the very identity of Indian tea.
