The annual media briefing by the Kerala Plantation Association (KPA) highlighted concerns over policy and production issues in the tea industry. The briefing, dominated by discussions on the draft Western Ghats Ecologically Sensitive Area (ESA) notification, revealed a critical lack of clarity on the matter.

The outcome of this issue could have significant implications for the economy of Kerala, where the tea industry plays a vital role.
