Govt to take initiatives to boost tea exports

Tea production in Bangladesh was 60 million kg in 2009, which increased to 97.51 million kg in 2021, but the product is not exported much, so the government has decided to take steps to increase its export, said Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi. National Tea Day is being celebrated for the second time in the country this year. The National Tea Day is being observed on 4 June to commemorate his birth centenary, his outstanding contribution to the tea industry and his joining as the chairman of the Tea Board.
