The option of using jute bags to package tea can be explored in the coming days, Jute Commissioner, Subrata Gupta, said here late on Monday evening.
Speaking on the sidelines of the annual general meeting of the Tea Association of India, Gupta said "food-grade packing material" for coffee and cocoa has already been developed and options can be explored to extend the same to tea.
“We have developed food-grade packaging material for coffee and cocoa. Now the opportunity may well be explored to package teas,” he said.
Under the prevalent Jute Packaging Act, 1987, the use of jute bags is mandatory for packing foodgrain and other material weighing beyond 25 kg (a package).
