India’s Tea Production Falls 9% in June 2025 Amid Weather Woes and Pest Attacks
India’s tea industry faced a setback in June 2025, with production dropping by 9% to 133.5 million kg, compared to 146.72 million kg in June 2024, according to data released by the Tea Board of India. The decline was mainly due to adverse weather conditions and pest infestations, severely impacting both big planters and small growers across North and South India.
Adverse weather conditions disrupted tea gardens in major growing states. Pest infestations further reduced crop yield, especially in Assam and West Bengal. The Indian Tea Association noted that both large estates and small-scale farmers faced output losses.
CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl): 117.84 million kg (major share of production)
Orthodox Tea: 13.82 million kg
Green Tea: 1.84 million kg
The decline affected all three categories, threatening both domestic supply and exports.
