The Tea Board has reportedly assured a delegation of the Pakistan Tea Association that it would look into issues pertaining to quality.
The Tea Board Chairman, Mr M.G.V.K. Bhanu, has also assured to put in force a system for random checking of tea being exported to Pakistan.
The assurance was given following concerns expressed by the delegation of the association that was on a visit here over the quality of a few lots they had bought from India.
A press release from the Tea Board said that Pakistan will import close to 50 million kg of tea from India by 2015. The western neighbour imported 24 million kg of tea from India during 2011.
The Pakistan Tea Association signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Indian Tea Association in this context last week here..
Most of the tea bought by Pakistan is currently sourced from the southern parts of the country.
