Due to the mismatch between the rising production costs and stagnant prices, the tea industry is facing sustainability challenges which have led to shrunk margins over the past few years. Picture this. In 2013-14, the average selling price of tea was above Rs 150/ kg, against the production cost, which was a little less than Rs 150 per kg. However, in 2018-19, the production cost shot up to Rs 200 per kg, but the selling price remained at Rs 160 per kg

Kishanganj is being promoted as the "Darjeeling of Bihar", and nearly 15,000 acres of land are under cultivation of tea. This has brought a measure of prosperity to the state's poorest district. However, the smaller farmers seek more support from the government.

किशनगंज को "बिहार के दार्जिलिंग" के रूप में जाना जाने लगा है, यहां पर लगभग 15,000 एकड़ भूमि पर चाय की खेती की जा रही है। इससे राज्य के सबसे गरीब जिले में समृद्धि आई है। हालांकि, छोटे किसान सरकार से अधिक समर्थन चाहते हैं।
