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

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।

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.

A research study has found that India’s rural population is losing access to protein and the consumption of packaged sugary edibles and carbohydrates has increased. The study reasoned affordability of carbohydrates-laden food as the primary cause of the nutritional imbalance. The increase in consumption of sugars is linked with a rise in cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.
