Increasing the production of Iranian grade tea
The head of the Tea Organization announced that if the weather conditions are favorable this year, about 120,000 tons of green tea leaves will be produced, of which the amount of dry tea produced will reach about 26,000 tons. But one of this year’s plans is to increase green tea leaves by 10 percent.
Mohammad Ali Roozbehan stated: The harvest of green tea leaves in China will start from the first week of May and all the infrastructure and facilities for purchasing this product will be provided from tea growers and if the weather conditions and rainy conditions are favorable, it will be forecasted by the end of the harvest season. About 120,000 tons of green tea leaves are harvested from orchards, and the amount of dry tea production reaches about 26,000 tons.
He added: Last year, about 36% of the green leaves harvested were first grade tea and the rest was second grade. Increase; So that the amount of green leaves harvested increases to 46%.
The head of the Tea Organization continued: If the quality of green tea leaves increases and first grade tea increases, we can hope that more excellent Iranian tea will be produced, because if, for example, one kilogram of second grade green tea leaves can produce one percent of premium tea. This rate increases to about 30% for first grade green tea leaves. Therefore, as much as we can increase its amount, we have helped to increase the production of Iranian tea.
Roozbehan, stating that this year we are trying to pay more attention to the quality of Iranian tea, which in itself will affect the reduction of production, said: care for the garden and its full nutrition by tea growers well in the current crop year It has been done and if the weather conditions are good, we can hope to experience a very favorable year in terms of quantity and quality of tea production.
He stressed: Support for domestic products takes place in conditions and will be sustainable provided that the consumer feels that he has provided a quality product, and although Iranian tea is one of the highest quality teas in the world and has a special flavor, but all efforts We will use ourselves to increase its quality.
The head of the Tea Organization reminded: We have started comprehensive drought insurance for tea gardens and so far more than 75% of the gardens have been insured and the rest will be insured through the Tea Industry Support Fund, Tea Organization and Tea Growers’ Union. And disappeared, the producer has the minimum income.
