Indian northeast state of Tripura is planning to export tea to Bangladesh through participating in the auction at Sreemangal in Sylhet. The Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has also taken up the matter with Bangladesh government. Green tea production has already begun in some tea estates of the state. We want to expand it in more tea gardens, but it is a time consuming process. But, it will be done in phases. The TTDC chairman admitted that absence of a logo of Tripura tea is a serious problem for the tea growers to market their produce at a reasonable price. It is very tough to transport finished tea to Siliguri or Kolkata tea auction markets. Once a logo is allotted, this problem will be solved. The TTDC plans to open a tea corner in the capital town next month for display and sale of tea produced in the state.

Mustard growers have been eyeing a bumper production this season with a hope to recoup losses they suffered previously due to severe crop failures. Farmers and agriculturists expressed optimism that favourable weather condition would bring bonanza for the growers. Mustard seed yield dropped to 0.62 million tonnes in the last season from 0.82 million tonnes the previous season, according to the provisional data of the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS). The overall oilseed production saw a sharp decline in the outgoing calendar year 2018 after registering continuous rise during the period from 2014 to 2017. Two spells of flooding in the later part of 2017 led to severe waterlogging which continued until January 2018, badly affecting the cultivation of mustard. As a result, major mustard-growing districts, including Sirajganj, Bogra, Pabna, Rajshahi, Thakurgaon, Kushtia, Jhinaidah, Jamalpur, Madaripur, Tangail and Manikganj, witnessed 20 to 35 per cent crop losses in 2018. A farmer expects to harvest 19 maunds of mustard in February, which could earn him around Tk 37,000 (Tk 1900-Tk 1950 per maund). He counted a loss of Tk 9,000 in the last season as I got only 5.0 maunds of mustard from 2.0 bighas of land. The country produces nearly 10,000 tonnes of honey a year, of which 4,500 tonnes is collected from mustard and other oil seeds and spice fields.

Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said on Tuesday that oil prices, which fell by more than a third this quarter, would become more stable in the first half of 2019. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) and other large oil producers led by Russia agreed earlier this month to cut their combined crude output by 1.2 million barrels per day from January in order to stem the fall in oil prices. Novak said there were no proposals for an extraordinary meeting with Opec, and he attributed the fall in oil prices to macroeconomic factors.
