Tea production and its export play a significant role in India's economy and global trade. This paper provides an overview of India's tea industry, highlighting its growth, challenges, and contributions to the international market. India is one of the largest tea producers in the world, cultivating diverse varieties of tea across several regions. The industry traces its roots back to the British colonial era, and since then, it has evolved into a key agricultural sector. Assam, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala are prominent tea-producing states in the country. The tea production process involves plucking, processing, and packaging, with both smallholder farmers and large estates contributing to the supply chain. With the advent of modern techniques and sustainable practices, the industry has witnessed continuous growth over the years. The export of Indian tea is a crucial aspect of the industry's success, with a significant portion of the produce finding its way to various international markets. India exports tea to countries such as the United Kingdom, Russia, the United States, Iran, and Egypt, among others. However, the Indian tea industry faces several challenges, including unpredictable weather patterns, pests, and labor issues. The need for sustainable plantation practices and mechanization to address these challenges remains a priority. Additionally, the competition in the global tea market is fierce, with other tea-producing nations vying for market share. To stay competitive, India must focus on maintaining the quality of its tea, diversifying its product range, and exploring new markets. With a rich heritage and a growing global demand for quality tea, India continues to play a vital role in shaping the world's tea industry. Nevertheless, sustained efforts to address challenges and capitalize on emerging opportunities are essential to maintain India's position as a dominant player in the global tea market.
