<h1>Government Ends Tea Price Stabilization Scheme; Offers Subsidies for Replantation, Mechanization, and Export Support.</h1> The government has implemented various measures to support the tea industry, although the Price Stabilisation Scheme and Plantation Crop Insurance Scheme ended in 2013. Currently, no subsidy scheme exists for price stabilization, but the Tea Board assists small and medium plantation holders with marketing support through auction centers and covers additional export-related costs. Under the Tea Development and Promotion Scheme during the XII Plan, subsidies are available for replantation, rejuvenation, and mechanization, covering approximately 74,400 hectares. An allocation of Rs. 482.90 crore is designated to enhance production, productivity, and quality. This was disclosed by the Minister of State in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha.
