ANSWER: 1233
Explanation:
India recorded the highest ever tea production at 1233 million kilos during 2015-2016, and exports crossed 230 million kilos during this period. Tea production rose by 3 percent in 2015-2016, from 36 million kilos in 2014-2015, according to a statement from the Tea Board. - Exports in the last fiscal were highest after 35 years and crossed INR 4493 crore and 17 percent rise in terms of quantity
- Last time exports crossed this percentage was in 1980-1981.
- Exports were mostly in markets of Russia, Germany, Iran, Pakistan, UAE, Poland and Bangladesh.
- Increase in production can be associated with rise in production in N. India, while the south suffered from climatic adversities
- Production by Bought Leaf Factors rose 5.81 percent during this period and contributed 34 percent to production overall. Average price realisation at tea auctions rose by 8.05 percent
