But, the farmers think they are deprived of the genuine rates they are supposed to get from factory owners. Adding to that is facing other challenges like climate change, use of chemicals in a scientific way, availability of manures and maintaining quality, pandemic, etc.
So Mr. Debashish Hazarika, who has exposure to Delhi, thinks that contract farming and MSP should be implemented in this area for the betterment of small tea growers. Every year they have to struggle for genuine rates. Once production increases after the first flush, a group of factory owners controls the rate as per with a focus on profit maximization. This has been an ongoing process and it’s high time some take a stand and stop this injustice against the hardworking innocent small-scale farmers. This is their only source of living.
Interestingly, the tea industry comes under the ministry of commerce and industry. Mr. Hazarika hopes that under the leadership of Honourable Chief Minister Dr. Hiamnta Biswa Sarma tea industry of Assam will reach newer heights because Dr. Sarma is known for his out-of-the-box progressive ideas, which is facing the toughest times for the last couple of years. It is believed that Dr. Sarma will stop the ongoing injustice and give the farmers their deserved share. Mr Hazarika is urging the government to implement a minimum floor price to secure the interest of both tea sellers and farmers , which has been implemented in African tea producing countries. He has also advocated the labourers interest ,health and safety for a long time .
