The Guwahati Tea Warehousing Association (GTWA) and the Federation of All India Tea Traders Association (FAITTA) have welcomed the Centre's decision to conduct a 100% dust tea auction trial for three months. The Commerce Ministry and Tea Board issued an order mandating a 100% auction of dust tea grades from North India. This decision aims to sell 100% of dust grade tea produced in specified regions through public auctions, and both GTWA and FAITTA have expressed support for the move despite concerns about potential disruptions in production.
