Sir, now, I would like to say some about Tea. This time there is taxation on common Tea.

The
Tea that we are consuming so that there can be more earnings through export. But if we
examine Tea Industry we will find that we are not getting good result either by the Tea Board
or by the efforts of Government. One fourth of the production of the whole country is
represented by Tea. But that much of attention is not given by the Government to this
Industry. They think that it is already foreign earnings and showing it should continue to get
it. But efforts should be made not only to develop this Industry but also to important the
industry through research things. As you know in some parts the foreign companies which
are working here are neglect this Industry. They are only after the profits they are not…….of
the development of the industry. There is room for development in many respects but it all
depends upon research work and research stations should be set up. Wherever there is
neglect. No doubt the Tea Board is there but the Tea board is bot seeing to this things. That
is our complaint. In the Tea Board people are there who are not at all agree to see how this
industry could be developed, how we could earn more profits how the quality could be
improve and how the quality could be increased. We are not seeing to that I come from a
part where the Tea in the economy of the area. But I find that it is been neglected from year
to year and no attention is given to it. I find that there is this drought manece in the further
improve in plantation is made. There the development of Tea undertaken. I only suggest
this to our Finance Minister. When you are given relief to coffee why are you not given relief
to Tea. Which is earning more foreign exchange. I humble urge our Finance Minister to see
to it and removed this burden on common Tea. Now I would like to say a word about
betelmint there is taxation on betelmint which is imported. Which quantities of betemint
are being smuggled.
