Tea has been one of the major exportable items of Bangladesh. We had a captive export market in some countries to export tea. Export of Bangladesh tea in the year 2005 was 9.09 million kg which was 30.66% less than the previous year export of 13.11 million kg. Export earning was 742.62 million taka against 934.04 million taka the previous year. Of the exported quantity 6.57 million kg was sold to Pakistan alone. The Govt. of  Pakistan allowed duty free entry of 10.00 million kg of  tea per year from Bangladesh since October 2002 and offered to increase the quota up to 15.00 million kg. but Bangladesh could not utilize that quota fully as increasing internal demand pushes the price levels up in the local auction and discourages exports. Other tea producing countries like India, Srilanka, Indonesia, Vietnam, Kenya and some other African countries have relative advantages to supply better quality teas at lower prices that makes export market extremely competitive for Bangladesh Tea.



Avisit to the tea plantation in Sylhet is a memorable experience. The gardens are relics from the days of the British. The plantations were started by the British and the manager still live in white timber homes as they did in those days.

 The bungalows stand on huge beautifully maintained lawns and the service and lifestyle is pretty much unchanged.
