Tea retreat

Abstract

In Bangladesh and many other Asian countries, tea is the second most popular beverage and is prized for its aroma, affordability, and health advantages. With 172 active gardens, Bangladesh's economy is greatly impacted by the tea industry. The cultivation of tea began in the 1840s, when it first encountered difficulties but gained traction with the founding of the Madhupur Tea Estate. To enhance the quality of tea, the Bangladesh Tea Board (BTB) and Bangladesh Tea Research Institute (BTRI) were established after independence. The initiative described in the FYP is centered on building out substations to improve training, outreach, and research in order to create a favorable environment for tea growing. The projected extension intends to further expand and optimize techniques, fostering collaboration and promoting sustainable tea production on the 1845.27 hectares that were committed to tea production in 2016.
