I don't understand why Nepal's tea is not stopping.
00:03
We have also given them a solution.
00:05
If Nepal's tea comes to India through a proper channel,
00:08
through a new auction system,
00:10
only Nepal's tea,
00:12
then we will know everything from them.
00:14
How much Nepal's tea is coming?
00:16
Where is its traceability being sold?
00:18
Who is buying it?
00:20
At what rate is it being sold?
00:22
And the biggest thing is its FSSI testing.
00:24
Today, if tea comes from the auction,
00:26
then it will be able to test every lot.
00:29
And it can be found that
00:31
the tea of good quality is sold.
00:34
The tea of poor quality is not sold.
00:37
Sir, how much percentage is being damaged by Nepal's tea?
00:40
Nepal's tea is the main thing.
00:42
The figures that have come from there,
00:44
approximately 15 to 16 million kilos of tea has been imported.
00:48
But more than quantity, it is a matter of sentiment.
00:51
If a bad tea comes from there and sells cheaply,
00:54
then the sentiment of the Indian tea market gets spoiled.
00:56
Sir, how much is the total production of Indian tea?
01:00
And how much is the share of North East and especially North Bengal?
01:03
In North Bengal, approximately 450 million kilos of tea is produced in a year.
01:08
And in the whole of India,
01:10
the figures that have come so far,
01:12
110 million kilos of tea are short.
01:15
Last year, our overall production for the whole year of All India was 1393 million.
01:20
This year, it has come to 1255-1260 million.
01:24
So, the production is less than last year.
01:26
And in the beginning, the price was also high.
01:28
But the price that has fallen in the last year,
01:31
Rs. 100, has broken the back of the seller.
01:54
When will the labourers and staffs come to work?
01:57
Another thing is that,
01:59
at this time, there is a shortage of good tea leaves in North Bengal.
02:06
Yes.
02:07
So, they have to sit.
02:09
And in this way, water is being supplied.
02:11
Water is being supplied to Thargana.
02:13
Everyone is working together.
02:15
I have seen a picture of you there.
02:18
Yes.
02:19
Last year, there was a shortage of good tea leaves.
02:21
Now, there is a shortage of good tea leaves.
02:23
I have seen a picture of you there.
02:29
I have seen a picture of you there.
02:37
I have seen a picture of you there.
02:40
Sir, what is the condition of the tea gardens?
02:42
This year, the tea gardens are in a very bad position.
02:47
Earlier, it was bad.
02:49
But this time, the government has come up with a decision,
02:53
that the tea gardens will be shut down on 30th November.
02:57
So, all the planters of Dwars, even Assam,
03:01
have shut down the tea gardens on 30th November.
03:04
They have given one or two days to manufacture the tea.
03:08
But this time, the climate change was such that,
03:11
in the beginning, the temperature was 42 degrees.
03:15
It was the highest temperature in North Bengal.
03:19
And this continued.
03:21
The plants died.
03:23
And after that, when it rained,
03:25
it continued for 20 to 25 days.
03:27
So, what happened was,
03:29
the chemical that was supposed to be given,
03:31
even if it was given, it was washed away.
03:34
So, new diseases were born.
03:37
One was lupus, heliopatics,
03:42
and now there is a new disease, Fusarium.
03:45
The plant turns black.
03:47
After breaking the leaf, there is no growth.
03:49
So, due to this, in July and August,
03:53
there was a lot of crop loss.
03:55
Almost all the tea gardens,
03:57
15 to 20 percent,
03:59
some are even 25 to 30 percent behind.
04:01
Despite that, the tea board directive came.
04:04
It's a good thing.
04:05
It's a good thing that they gave the directive.
04:07
We would have said,
04:08
they should have given the directive earlier.
04:10
But our expenses,
04:12
the government's expenses,
04:14
our staff, labour's expenses,
04:16
if they had given it,
04:17
we would have closed the gardens three months ago.
04:19
But this kind of decision,
04:21
a one-sided decision,
04:22
the chief minister of Assam,
04:24
or the producer of Assam,
04:25
would have said that
04:26
closing the gardens on 30th November,
04:29
and in the climate of Assam,
04:31
and in the climate of Doha,
04:32
there is a difference of 15 days.
04:33
If they had not closed the gardens on 30th November,
04:37
they would have done it on 15th December as well.
04:40
But if they had done it on 15th September,
04:42
the gardens would not have been covered.
04:45
After Pooja, the leaves came out really well.
04:49
I will send you a photo,
04:50
you can see it.
04:51
I am cutting the leaves and throwing them away.
04:53
I am crying.
04:54
Such good leaves had never come in the season.
04:56
And we have to cut the leaves and throw them away.
