PRODUCTION
OF COMOLONGMO ORGANIC TEA |
 Comolongmo
Organic Tea is produced by the Kanchanjangha Tea Estate (www.organickte.com)
(KTE). KTE, which is located in Ranitar - a remote hilly village
in Panchthar at the foothills of Mt Kanchanjunga - was established
in 1984 by a group of small farmers on a cooperative model. The
cooperative, in which over 100 small farmers have pooled their marginal
land holdings together as shareholders, creating a plantation covering
over 94 hectars of land, was the first of its kind in Nepal. Currently
over 200 families benefit through KTE.
Although
the farmers work on regular wages in accordance with the Tea Workers
Act in Nepal, KTE provides the farmers with subsidised rice and
tea and sponsors their children at the local community school.
 Furthermore,
to generate extra income for the families, KTE initiated a "cow
bank" project. Through the project farmers earn extra income
by selling milk from the cows, while the manure is used on the plantation
maintain soil fertility.
Comolongmo.com is pleased to work with the Kanchanjangha Tea Estate
in helping to alleviate poverty in Nepal. |
