Iran-Israel Conflict Threatens Assam's Tea Exports

Iran-Israel Conflict Threatens Assam's Tea Exports

The conflict between Iran and Israel is hurting Assam's tea business.

Iran buys a lot of Assam's special tea, and the fighting is making it tough to sell and ship the tea.

This is causing tea prices to drop, especially for the best kinds.

Exporters are worried about getting paid and making future deals.

While demand from Iran is still high, the situation is uncertain.

To cope, the industry is trying to focus on different markets and improving the tea quality.
