It is a difficult situation. I request the government, the tea board and all the organizations
00:06
not to compare Assam with the North Bengal industry.
00:10
It is a good thing that you have been in Assam for 15 days,
00:14
but you will have to give 15 days for the tea in Dwars because the climate and demography has changed.
00:20
Sir, the weather is not good, the water is being sprayed through irrigation.
00:26
There is no 100% irrigation system in other gardens.
00:31
But how much will they run the irrigation system?
00:35
There is a lot of dust in the gardens right now.
00:38
So there is a need for rain.
00:40
If there is no rain, the industry will get even worse.
00:45
We are suffering from permanent labor.
00:49
Permanent expenses are going on.
00:52
If the government does not support the industry, it will not work.
00:55
Is production still going on in Nepal?
01:00
Yes, production is still going on in Nepal.
01:03
We are weak.
01:05
Their tea is being sold to us and we are not able to make our own tea.
01:10
In October, production was very good.
01:19
People made a lot of tea.
01:22
The tea price has gone down by 30-40%.
01:27
People thought that if we close the gardens, the price of tea will go up.
01:33
But it has gone down.
01:35
My request to you is not to hamper production.
01:38
People try to increase production.
01:40
They put fertilizers and everything.
01:42
But you are slashing production.
01:46
That is very bad.
01:48
I request the government not to hamper the gardens.
01:55
Give us at least 15 days.
01:57
I don't want them to increase production.
01:59
Last December, the production was full.
02:01
I don't want them to break it in the last month.
02:03
If you think that the production is going bad,
02:08
get the tea board inspected and tested.
02:14
Catch the wrongdoers.
02:17
Such decisions are wrong.
02:21
We don't agree with this.
02:23
We want to see this time.
02:25
There will be complete opposition.
02:26
No one will agree.
02:28
How do you see the tea industry from the tea board's point of view?
02:35
The decision of the tea board to close early is a positive step.
02:41
Non-quality teas, which are not correct or fit teas,
02:45
or which are lower standard teas,
02:46
whatever you phrase it,
02:48
their production was in the end season.
02:50
Anything that is made in the season,
02:52
any fruit, anything,
02:53
there is a specific period.
02:55
If you do it in the off-season,
02:56
the quality will not be good.
02:58
Similarly, there is a season for tea.
02:59
So, by closing early,
03:01
now we only made quality teas.
03:03
In the post-season,
03:05
the tea that was made in December,
03:06
was of low quality.
03:07
Due to that, the prices used to fall a lot.
03:09
And the lower quality tea used to get flooded in the market.
03:11
So, by closing early,
03:12
you will see that the prices are much higher than last year.
03:15
Because the tea board had already announced it.
03:17
So, the prices were very good.
03:19
So, the manufacturers got a very good benefit
03:21
that they could get a better price realization.
03:23
And what benefit did the consumer get in the market?
03:25
They got quality teas.
03:26
So, it was a very good step and a very good decision.
03:29
Sir, is there any decrease in the production of tea?
03:33
For example,
03:35
in India,
03:37
or aside from India,
03:39
in India,
03:41
in India,
03:43
See, it is not a major decrease.
03:45
If you see, till October,
03:47
the data of the tea board is published,
03:48
it is about 66 million kilos short.
03:50
In November, there was a bumper crop.
03:52
That will also be covered a little.
03:53
Even if it is approximately 50 million kilos short,
03:55
there are 2-3 benefits from this.
03:57
One, there were quality teas in the market.
03:59
Second, the problems that you had of the price,
04:03
manufacturers, bottle leaf,
04:05
everyone used to say that the price of tea has gone up.
04:07
Since last year, approximately this year,
04:09
the price has gone up to Rs. 40-50, up to Rs. 80.
04:12
So, they also got a good price realization.
04:14
The consumer also got a good quality.
04:16
So, it has been a win-win situation for everyone.
04:18
And the next season that will come,
04:20
this year there was an early closure.
04:22
Next year, the early crop that will come,
04:24
if the producer has a short-term loss,
04:26
then he will get a long-term gain.
04:28
So, everyone is in a win-win situation.
04:30
Next year, the producer will get a make-up.
04:32
The price will also get better.
04:33
And the consumer will get a better quality.
04:35
So, it is a gain for everyone in the long run.
04:40
The market has been very good this year.
04:41
This has been one of the best years for tea this year.
04:43
Everything, see Orthodox, see CTC,
04:45
it has been a fantastic year.
04:47
The prices have been record prices this year.
