More and more of Assam fermers as well as other citizens start to growing tea instead of vegetables and fruits. For farmers growing tea leaves is a good stable income source. For others this is a modern trend.
Anyway Assam currently produces around 480 million kg of tea. Around 30 percent of this comes from small tea growers.
'More than 900,000 people are involved in the small tea growing business in Assam. Almost 250, 000 hectares of land is covered for such plantations. They contribute to 29 percent of the total tea produced by Assam, which is 14 percent of the total tea production of India,' the official added.
Hmmm, i think may be i will start some small tea garden too!
So, i will brew some good home grown tea from my mega green tea plantation very soon! :)
