History of Tea
South India, with a total area of over 89,000 hectares under tea cultivation, produces 203 million kilograms of tea annually, which is nearly 24% of the national production. Of this, around 75 million kilograms is accounted for by the small sector, comprising over 65,000 small tea growers and 165 bought leaf factories, including those in the co-operative fold.
Over a quarter million plantation workers are employed in tea gardens across the state on Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka. Exports of tea from this region are of the order of 100 million kilograms per annum, which constitutes more than half of the total tea exports from the country. Over the past two decades there has been a rapid expansion of the small sector in the tea industry, with a large number of farmers in the Nilgiris, which account for 95% of the small tea grower, converting from vegetable cultivation to this plantation crop. Unlike traditional annual crops, tea was found to be relatively free of pests and diseases, easier to maintain, excellent for soil conservation and regular source of income.
The boom period of 1997-98 in particular saw unprecedented return to the tea industry and bought economic prosperity to the Nilgiris.
