The tea and coffee sector in India is vital to both agriculture and industry. Companies in this sector are engaged in tea and coffee cultivation, processing, packaging and distribution, catering to both domestic and international markets.
India is one of the largest producers and consumers of tea and coffee globally. The industry depends on several factors, including weather conditions, government policies, labour availability and global demand.
Since tea and coffee are primarily grown in specific regions climate conditions play a crucial role in production. The rise in demand for premium tea and coffee, along with growing cafe culture and increasing exports, has created new business opportunities for companies in this industry.
Despite its advantages, the tea and coffee sector also faces challenges. Fluctuations in global prices impact profitability and the industry is highly labour-intensive, leading to increased production costs.
