Tea is one of the three major non-alcoholic beverages used in the world, which was originally discovered in China. Currently tea industry has spread from China to the far corners of the world encompassing countries ranging from 30° latitude in the Southern Hemisphere (Kenya) to 45° latitude in the Northern Hemisphere (Georgia). The per capita consumption is more than 1.0 kg. Unfortunately, all tea consumed in Pakistan is imported from abroad. Tea is the third commodity after petroleum and edible oil on which our billions of expenditure has been spent annually. Moreover, in 2020, Pakistan was the leading tea importing country in the world, with imports valued at approximately 590 million U.S. dollars.
Keeping in view all of the above facts, Bank is already providing loans to farmers to enhance the tea production of country. Now, in order to make this initiative more fruitful, loaning facilities can also be provided on similar grounds for tea plantation, processing, packaging and marketing. ZTBL will try to provide linkages to farmers for marketing of their produce either by contact with utility stores or super markets etc or by exploring suitable parties for buying of packaged tea for further marketing.
