'angladesh Tea Research Institute 0'TRI1 produces
interesting information regarding tea production in 'angladesh at different
stage since 34?8# It shows that the great success come to this industr in3486# :fter that 'angladesh failed to achieve its target due to bureaucrac,

Tea has been one of the ma(or e)portable items of 'angladesh
since 3483# e had a captive e)port market in some countries to e)port tea#
The scenario has been changed in recent ears because of open market
econom, emergence of new entrants in the world market with low priced
tea and rapid increase of internal demand# >)port of 'angladesh tea in the
ear $66@ was 4#64 million kg which was &6#AA less than the previous
ear e)port of 3! million kg# >)port earning was 8?$#A$ million taka
against 4&?#6? million taka the previous ear# Of the e)ported *uantit A#@8

free entr of 36#66 million kg of tea per ear from 'angladesh since October
$66$ and offered to increase the *uota up to 3@#66 million kg# but
'angladesh could not utili7e that *uota full as increasing internal demandpushes the price levels up in the local auction and discourages e)ports# Other

It is recommended that government give necessar support for preserving
this small scale nature of production so that it is not gobbled up b big
producers, concern about which has alread been e)pressed in the media
0Dail uropean Commission 0>C1
has announced that it will grant &6#& million taka to fund three pro(ects#
These areH setting up of an office of the Tea 'oard in +anchagarh,
establishing a Tea Research Institute here9 and helping production of clonetea# The >C is also specificall helping the small and the marginal farmers#
Due help is forthcoming to give fillip to this important development of tea
production in 'angladesh#
/e'itali!ation of Tea Export fro Banglades%
It is evident from Table $ that there has been a decline in tea e)port of
'angladesh# This was due to several reasons, foremost among which are
stead increase in domestic demand, stiff competition in the international
market, lack of diversit in the *ualit of tea produced, and locali7ation of
tea production in a single district#
It appears now that 'angladesh is breaking awa from these problems# The
new varieties of fragrant tea, production of organic tea, possibilit of
producing herbal tea like clove and ginger-flavoured tea, and citreous tea
like lemon tea will at last give 'angladesh the edge in the international
market that it needs#
Ler recentl, 'angladesh researchers reported the development of a newvariet, called 'T-3A, that is ver high ielding 0about 3@ more than the
conventional ones1 and highl resistant to common diseases of tea leaves#
hen this variet will be read for use in our gardens, tea production and
e)port in 'angladesh will receive a great fillip#

The high demand for 'angladeshi fragrant tea and the selling out of all
organic tea of +anchagarh in advance and the development of 'T-3A
indicate that the fall in tea e)port can effectivel be reversed#
/>NT
2rom the above discussion it becomes clear that for e)pansion
of tea production and its e)port promotion, the following polic
recommendations ma be put forwardH
i1 : determined effort should be made to infill all tea gardens with
oung tea plants immediatel to increase production of tea#
ii1 Rough plucking of green tea leaves is to be avoided for *ualit
production of tea#iii1 To meet the local demand of low priced *ualit tea and to increase
e)port of tea appropriate measures coupled with government
initiative should be undertaken#
iv1 Use of modern technolog and machine is an imperative to
produce *ualit tea and to keep the cost lower# Tea producers
should be encouraged to replace !Orthodo)" method graduall#
v1 :s 'angladesh can make a dent in the world market of organic tea,
the industr ma be given due support that it needs and deserves
b the government#
vi1 :ttempts ma be made at the government level to increase e)port
of tea to /uslim countries through bilateral contract#
vii1 The government should pla its due role b giving ade*uate and
timel credit, creating infrastructural facilities and preserving
small-scale production b the small and marginal farmers#
viii1 :ppropriate weight and importance on research should be given to
produce ;=L tea and more new tpes of herbal tea#
i)1 The /inistr of 2orestr, the /inistr of Commerce and the
'angladesh Tea 'oard, for the successful implementation ofbringing new areas under tea plantation, both in the northeastern
and the southeastern part of 'angladesh ma take coordinated
approach# This ma help povert alleviation as the government
would like to distribute land among small farmers in these areas#
