Union Budget upsets tea industry

News Desk: Union Budget upsets tea industry. There was reduction in corporate tax for the benefit of industrialists, but nothing was announced for the development of tea garden workers. But this time there was ample opportunity to revive the tea industry.

Birendra Oraon, president of the central committee of the TMC Tea Workers’ Union, said “Our chief minister, despite economic deprivation by center, always thinks of the tea industry and tea workers in the north”

Indian tea is lagging behind in the international market due to rising production costs due to rising prices of tea-growing materials.
