Assam Tea Industry Addresses Imports, Climate Change, and Market Issues

Assam Tea Industry Addresses Imports, Climate Change, and Market Issues

Tea growers in Assam, where tea is grown, got together to talk about problems.

They're worried about cheap tea coming from other countries, the weather hurting their crops, and unfair rules.

They don't like that the rules are different for them than for the tea coming from other countries.

The weather, specifically less rain and higher temperatures, is making it harder to grow tea in some areas.

They want things to be fairer, like having the same rules for everyone and making sure the tea sold is good quality.
