New season & Tea Board…
2009 has started with a dry spell and ruling high prices because of high demand. Tea Board is bent upon introducing e-auctions and cash & carry system. We made two trips to Calcutta on 9th & 25th February regarding this to meet Chairman, Tea Board and to discuss various aspects. Jairam Ramesh, Commerce Minister and Asok Bhattacharya were involved too in many of these aspects and we involed Suman Pathank and Dawa Narbula to substentiate our greviences, who raised the issue in Parliament.
Let us look forward to yet another good year for tea industry.
