Crop loss estimated at 60 million kg The double whammy of COVID-19 infection among plantation workers and drought-like conditions has rendered an estimated crop loss of 60 million kilograms to tea estates in Assam. “Spells of pre-monsoon showers have made planters heave a sigh of relief, but the damage has already been done,” the North Eastern Tea Association (NETA) and Bharatiya Cha Parishad (BCP) said following a survey across plantations. Second year of loss This is the second successive year of massive crop loss. The lockdown last year saw most of Assam’s 803 major estates and more than 1.70 lakh small tea gardens losing 78 million kg of tea leaves, Tea Board of India data showed. Tea estates have largely been exempted from severe curbs this time, but a few estates have been hamstrung by more than 500 employees out of action due to COVID-19 infection.
