Iran's Tea Production Expected to Rise This Year

The production of 135,000 tons of fresh tea leaves is estimated in Iran in the current fiscal year that started on March 20, to register a 10% increase compared with that of last year, says the head of Iran Tea Organization.
"A total of 30,000 tons of processed tea will be derived from this,” Habibollah Jahansaz was quoted as saying by Young Journalists Club, adding that the latter figure shows a 5% rise year-on-year.
The official noted that tea harvest is due to begin in Gilan and Mazandaran, Iran’s tea cultivation provinces, in the coming days.
