Recent advances in quality and processing of plantation crops in India, Role of Commodity Boards in Development of Plantation Crops.
Recent advancements in the quality and processing of plantation crops in India have revolutionized the sector, enhancing both productivity and market competitiveness. Innovations in cultivation practices, irrigation techniques, and pest management have improved crop quality and yield. Additionally, advancements in post-harvest handling, processing technologies, and value-added product development have increased the value of plantation crops in domestic and international markets.
Commodity Boards, such as the Tea Board, Coffee Board, and Rubber Board, play a crucial role in the development of plantation crops in India. These boards provide support to growers through research, extension services, training programs, and quality certification. They also facilitate market promotion, export promotion, and price stabilization measures, ensuring the sustainability and profitability of plantation crop cultivation. Through collaboration with industry stakeholders and government agencies, commodity boards drive innovation, investment, and growth in the plantation sector, contributing to India's position as a global leader in plantation crop production and trade.

2. Introduction
• Darjeeling – a district of West
Bengal, India.
• Since about 1835, tea has been
cultivated, grown and produced in
the State.
• The tea produced in this region
has a distinctive quality and flavor.
• It has long been known to the
trade and the public in India and
abroad as Darjeeling Tea.
• It has acquired domestic and
international reputation.
3. Present Scenario
• 86 running gardens producing
‘Darjeeling Tea’ on a total area of
19,000 hectares.
• Total production - 10 to 11 million
kilograms annually.
• 52 thousand people working on a
permanent basis
• 15,000 persons are engaged
during the plucking season which
lasts from March to November.
• Work force consists of 60 percent
women.
5. Plucking
• The smallest shoots, comprising
of two leaves and a bud are
plucked. It requires 22,000 such
shoots, all plucked by hand - to
produce 1 Kg. of Tea. In attaining
this high plucking standard, the
hilly terrain, makes the task even
more difficult.
• The special Darjeeling flavors is
generated from the very fine
plucking standard.
6. Withering
• During this process, the
green leaves are evenly
spread on troughs, through
which hot & cold air are
blown in a regulated
manner.
• The object is to remove
moisture in the leaf slowly
over a period of 14 - 16
hours.
7. Rolling
• The withered leaves are loaded
into rollers where they are
twisted by a mechanical action.
• The process is carefully
monitored so that the style of
the leaf is maintained and
overheating does not take
place.
8. Fermentation
• After Rolling, the leaf is spread in a cool & humid room in very thin
layers.
• The process lasts between 2- 4 hours, depending on temperature,
humidity and leaf quality.
• During the process the tea develops a unique flavour and aroma.
The Tea Makers sensory judgment is critical to quality of the liquor.
9. Drying
• The fermented leaf is taken to a
dryer, where it is subjected to
regulated varying temperature
for a period of 20 - 30 min.
• The result is black tea whose
moisture has been lost after
natural fermentation is
checked.
10. Sorting and Packing
• This is the final stage, where
the tea is graded according to
the size and packed in
specially designed foil lined
packages.
11. • Tasting is done by special
tasters to differentiate and
bring out the best one.
• Selling is done through
auction system. The
auctioneer decides the
selling price of the Tea.

have been successfully concluded in countries such as Japan,
Srilanka, Russia etc. 6 oppositions were unsuccessful and 4 are still
pending decision Use by BULGARI, Switzerland of the legend “
Darjeeling Tea fragrance for men” agreed to be withdrawn pursuant
to legal notice and negotiations.
• The Indian Geographical Indication of Goods (Registration &
Protection) Act 1999 is a specific Act covering the registration and
