NEW DELHI: The tea industry in Tripura is set for a major transformation with the establishment of the Tea Auction Centre in Agartala. Tripura will officially become the second state in India to establish its own Tea Auction Centre.
This strategic development is set to usher in a new era for the marketing and distribution of the high-quality tea produced in the state, which stands as the fifth largest tea producer in the country, with an annual output of approximately 9 million kilograms.
Speaking at the launch, Samir Ranjan Ghosh, Chairperson, of Tripura Tea Development Centre, said “In Tripura, we are launching the Tea E-Auction Centre from Thursday. Our CM Manik Saha will inaugurate this. The history of Tea in Tripura is more than 100 years old. As I am asked about the quality of tea in Tripura, I would like to say that there was no procedure for measuring the quality of the tea in the past years. In 2018, after the establishment of the new government, the initiative was taken to develop the tea industry.”
