GUWAHATI: Over two hundred thousand small tea growers from India's North-East, under the banner of the North East Confederation of Small Tea Growers’ Association, have written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging immediate intervention to protect the Indian tea industry, which has a legacy of over 200 years.
These growers, who contribute over 55 per cent of the region’s tea production, are grappling with mounting challenges that threaten their livelihood and the tea industry’s future.
