"content": "Previously, they used to grow tea on large parcels of land. This has now reduced to a level where they plant tea on even a quarter or half of an acre. If you couple that with diminishing returns, the fact that tea cannot be intercropped with anything else, this leaves tea farmers in a very precarious situation because tea is the only crop they depend on. It is high time we saved farmers from this situation. What worries me is the fact that tea consumption in the world is not reducing. How comes that the investments that have been put to support that very important beverage are reducing to a level that most of the farmers are actually cutting their tea plants and replacing with other crops? Something has to be done to make sure that tea farmers are supported to get back to business. With those few remarks, I would like to support."
