BusinessOdisha Explores Reviving Tea Cultivation Inspired by Assam
Odisha is considering reviving tea cultivation, drawing lessons from Assam's successful tea industry. The Taramakant tea estate in Keonjhar, established in 1982, once provided employment to nearly 1,000 people but closed in the early 2000s. Recent efforts aim to restore it, supported by scientific assessments of suitable areas. Assam's model of large estates and small growers offers a roadmap for Odisha to develop a sustainable tea economy benefiting tribal livelihoods.
