Nepal’s tea has been moving steadily across the Kakarbhitta border this year. In just the first three months of the current fiscal year, the country sent out nearly 4.7 million kilos of tea to India. Traders say this slow but constant flow has already brought Nepal an income of around Rs 1.37 arba.
Many farmers and exporters believe the early numbers hint at a stronger season ahead. Even though the global market is facing pressure, the steady demand from India has given local producers some hope. They expect that if the pace continues, earnings could rise further in the coming months.
