ATTN. NEWS EDITOR - THE HINDUWomen workers plucking tea leaves in a garden with the onset of the peak season of tea industry starting from April in the outskirts of Guwahati, Assam on Wednesday, April 19, 2006. India, the world's largest tea producer, produced an all-time high record of 928 million kg in 2005 compared to 820 million kg in 2004 and Assam is considered the heart of India's tea industry, accounting for about 55 percent of the country's total production. The total production of Assam tea was about 475 million kg last year. A part of the credit for this positive trend goes to the women labour sector who is actively involved in this industry.
