Tea Board Chairman P K Bezbaruah on Thursday said the Centre should continue to provide subsidy for making of orthodox tea, in a boost to exports.
Compared to CTC variety, orthodox tea fetches a higher price in the market, he said.
Speaking at the annual general meeting of Indian Tea Association here, Bezbaruah said, "Orthodox tea subsidy is very important as more than 60 per cent of tea exports globally are of this variety."
