A memorandum addres-sed to the Prime Minister, signed by ANSTGA Presi-dent D Hukiye Kibami and Senior Vice President S K James, apprised the Prime Minister of the need for factories and a tea board office in the state by poin-ting that Nagaland in the recent time has emerged as one of the non-traditional tea growing areas with large number of Naga people taking up tea cultivation as an alternative means of livelihood.

However, the memoran-dum stated that the cultiva-tion, which is eco-friendly, organic and creates employ-ment opportunities to large population, was ‘faced with grim situation due to non-existence tea production facility in the state.'(UNI)
