The Economic Survey today observed that tea and coffee production in the country is expected to increase, which augurs well for exporters of the beverages.
The post monsoon coffee production is expected to rise by 4% at 2,99,000 tonne for the year 2010-11 as against 2,89,000 tonne in the corresponding period last year, the report tabled in Parliament said.
Likewise, tea production is expected to rise marginally by 2% to 991.18 million kg in 2009-10 as against 972.77 million kg in the year-ago period, it added.
Tea originationg from Darjeeling, Assam and the Nilgiris are well-known for their distinctive flavours the world over, the survey observed.
Coffee is predominantly an export-oriented commodity in India with 65 to 70% of the production being exported, thereby, earning considerable foreign exchange, the survey tabled in Parliament by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said.
