Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
The small tea growers of the state felt the worst jolt at the beginning of this tea season when the price of green leaves fell as low as Rs 12 per kg in some districts. This price, growers say, does not even cover the production cost, let alone profit. In the absence of any MSP (Minimum Support Price) for green tea leaves in the state, the indigenous tea growers have sent an SOS (Save Our Soul) plea to the State Government to rescue them from this dismal situation.
