There is about 16000 hectares area under tea, most of all the areas under tea is in bringing up to bearing Small Holder tea Scheme industry is found very practical. There are more land suitable for tea cultivation in adjoining Districts. Similarly, tea can be planted in other districts besides the declared Tea Zone and area can be extended up to 2000 meters above mean sea level. The target is to extend orthodox in the hills and C.T.C in the Terai within 5 years and bring it to get 40 Thousand hectares. Which will produces 47 million kg of tea in various grades and would earn around 246 million dollars. This will give permanent employment to 102 thousand people in rural sector, which will boost the rural economy and other developmental activities.
