More tea, please

In a bid to boost tea productivity, the Tea Board of India, along with the Bangalore-based Indian Institute of Plantation Management (IIPM) is setting up a Tea Planters’ Productivity Council (TPPC).

At present there is significant disparity in the management practices and the productivity levels among tea estates even within the same region and the proposed TPPC will work through district and zonal councils which would work like quality circles, providing a platform for disseminating information on best management practices.
