It will help all the seller members who want to sell their tea immediately at GTAC because due to lockdown they were unable to open their factories and recently the Tea industry has allowed them to resume operations and they have produced their tea’s and dispatched to GTAC.

At present the pipeline is empty and until the full-fledged production has started the prices may be on a higher side,” Dinesh Bihani said.
He further said that, hope that tea producers will make good quality tea so they get strong demand and better realization.
