<h1>Tea planters' association warns oversupply and FSSAI non-compliance harming demand, urges price floor, quality mapping, subsidies</h1> A regional tea planters' association warned of market disruption caused by oversupply and alleged widespread non-compliance with FSSAI standards, which it says has shifted buyer demand to other domestic regions and imports and exposed packers to legal risk. The association seeks regulatory and policy responses: enforcement of FSSAI-quality mapping for sourcing regions, a proposed minimum green-leaf floor price with quality thresholds to compel rejection of substandard material, targeted Tea Board funding for quality-improvement subsidies, export incentives, stricter controls on import-for-re-export leakage, and industry-wide promotion and self-regulatory measures to restore credibility and pricing.
