 "August tea output rises 2.2%")
India's tea production in August rose 2.2 percent from a year earlier to 154.26 million kg, the state-run Tea Board said in a statement on Monday.
The shortfall in output in the southern states was offset by higher plucking in key north-eastern states.
The country's tea production in the first eight months of the 2013 calendar year stood at 704.87 million kg, up 6.3 percent from last year.
India exports CTC (crush-tear-curl) grade tea mainly to Egypt, Pakistan and the United Kingdom, and the orthodox variety to Iraq, Iran and Russia.
