1.7 crore kg of tea is exported to America, but Trump tariff has spoiled the whole game
The effect of US President Donald Trump's tariff is visible on Indian tea exports. American importers have stopped orders, due to which the tea industry is worried. The Indian Tea Association has expressed concern over the tariff as America is an important market for India. The association has appealed to the government for help to promote tea exports.
The effect of the 50 percent tariff imposed on India by US President Donald Trump is being seen on exports. American importers have put orders for Indian goods on hold, and at present, there seems to be no solution to this problem. India's tea industry has also been badly affected by Trump's tariff at this time.
The Indian Tea Association has expressed concern over the US tariff and said that America is an important market for tea for India. The association has stated that the continuous decline in tea prices and instability in the export market pose a threat to the industry's existence.
According to a figure, in 2024, India exported 17 million kg of tea to the US. This year, till May alone, 62.6 lakh kg of tea has been exported to the US. However, the association believes that the 50 percent tariff imposed on Indian products will significantly limit the export of tea to the US.
