Agartala: Dec 13: The Tripura government has made significant strides in revitalizing the state’s once struggling tea industry, with a renewed focus on economic growth through its development. Minister of Industry and Commerce, Santana Chakma, emphasized this vision at a tea buyer-seller meet held at a hotel in Agartala today. The event, organized by the Tea Development Corporation, marked a significant milestone as it was the first of its kind in the state.
Chakma highlighted that the tea industry in Tripura had long been neglected, but under the current government, it has been given a new direction. The state’s tea industry is now being nurtured with the aim of transforming it into a major contributor to Tripura’s economy. However, to achieve this ambitious goal, the government requires the support of investors, as they will play a crucial role in the industry’s growth.
The Minister also stressed the importance of collaboration between all stakeholders to ensure the tea industry’s successful development. The government is determined to enhance the state’s financial standing by focusing on the growth of this sector in the coming years.
Among the key participants at the event were Samir Ghosh, Chairman of the Tripura Tea Development Corporation, and Managing Director Manik Lal Das. Representatives from the Indian Tea Association and Indian Auction Association, who are integral to the country’s tea industry, also attended the meet. Their involvement underlined the national significance of Tripura’s tea sector and the growing interest in its future. The meet served as a platform for fostering relationships between tea buyers and sellers, creating opportunities for the state to showcase its tea potential on a larger scale.
