An apex tea body under Ministry of Commerce, Tea Board of India, has partnered with World Tea and Coffee Expo (WTCE), a move to promote domestic and global tea trade aggressively. “This move reflects not only the strong growth potential of the Indian markets but also of the board’s commitment to ensure healthy growth of the tea sector,” said a Government official. The two day event of WTCE is scheduled to be held in Mumbai from October 20-22, 2016. The Tea Board is at the forefront of making India the leading producer and supplier of quality tea in the global market and also works towards the upliftment of this vital sector that encourages the use of latest technology, devising export policies, ensuring labor welfare and spreading awareness on sustainability issues.
