Tea production in Bangladesh
Bangladesh is an important tea-producing country. It is the 9th largest tea producer in the world, producing a total of 97.08 million kgs in 2019. Its tea industry dates back to British rule, when the East India Company initiated the tea trade in the hills of the Sylhet region.

The industry accounts for 3% of global tea production, and employs more than 4 million people.
