TEA REHAB. & DIVERSI

closed

The Tea Rehabilitation and Diversification Project aims to reduce tea production costs and improve tea quality from high potential tea areas, and to diversify unprofitable low yielding tea lands out of tea into spices and fuelwood. The project would help improve management systems and also strengthen financial control and information systems in major tea producing public corporations, stabilize eroding lands, and improve welfare of tea estate workers. The project comprises: tea replanting, and factory rehabilitation infilling programs in high country and low country areas; greenleaf and made tea transport; rehabilitation of labor housing and improvement of water supply and medical facilities; provision of processing and storage facilities for spices and field and nursery equipment; and technical assistance and training.
