Bangladesh remains a minor global exporter due to strong domestic consumption; nonetheless, competitive pricing and quality upgrades are opening opportunities for targeted niches.
Industry Challenges
- High domestic demand reduces exportable surplus; Bangladesh is often a net importer.
- International competition from India, Sri Lanka, Kenya with lower costs.
- Quality variability; some gardens produce leaf below premium export specs.
- Low productivity from aging bushes, limited irrigation and infrastructure.
- Price volatility in local auctions discourages export focus during bumper harvests.
Strategies to Grow Exports

Replant with high‑yield BTRI clones; expand to suitable plain land (e.g., Panchagarh model).
Raise Quality
Invest in field practices, irrigation, processing and QC to meet international standards.
Diversify & Market
Green tea, flavored/specialty variants (ginger, lemongrass, matcha), and tea‑based products.
