International Tea Day 2020: Every year on December 15, International Tea Day is celebrated by various tea producing countries worldwide. Tea production and processing is the main source of livelihood for millions of families in developing countries and the main means of subsistence for the millions of poor families who live in least developed countries. The tea industry is a main source of income and export revenue for some poor countries and provides employment as a labor-intensive sector, especially in remote and economically deprived areas. Not only this, tea can play an important role in rural development, poverty reduction and food security in developing countries, which is one of the most important cash crops.
