About this episode
Sri Lanka President Ranil Wickremesinghe described several policy and strategic changes for the tea industry in remarks during the opening session of the Colombo International Tea Convention on July 25.
He said plantations inherited from the colonial age should transition to agro-businesses integrating land use and factory production in a sustainable sector that employs millions to produce clean, sustainable tea to achieve zero emission targets. The government will manage plantation housing and redistribute these properties among workers. He called on the industry to develop a clear strategy to attract younger generations to enjoy tea.
