Marketing channel of tea is Producers to consumers and Producers to Retailer to consumers. The main problems here is the cost incurred on the machines. the problem that comes after this is that there is a lack of labours due to the plucking of leafs, which is a very old problems, here there is a lack of knowledge, that is, how to use any chemical or equipment, there is not so much knowledge, they do not get the right price of tea.
