A workshop by the Bangladesh Tea Board (BTB) in Thakurgaon, Bangladesh, emphasized the importance of scientific methods and advanced technologies in small-scale tea farming on plain lands to increase production and profitability. Conducted as part of the 'Expansion of Small Holding Tea Cultivation in Northern Bangladesh Project', the workshop saw the participation of 65 small-scale tea growers who learned about various techniques in tea plantation, pest management, and scientific cultivation methods from experts. The BTB is working to extend scientific methods, technologies, and tea-related services to small-scale farmers to promote tea cultivation in the northern region, particularly in the Kartoa Valley ecological zone, which is highly suitable for tea farming. The board is also encouraging organic tea farming to maximize profits for farmers.
