He then went into commercial production and sold his first consignment in 1873 and the industry grew from there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">He estimates that 10 to 15 per cent of the working population in Sri Lanka are involved in the tea industry.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cThis line of business creates vast employment opportunities, from plucking the tea on the plantation, the manufacturing process, the transport to the warehouses, the brokers, the buyers, the freight forwarders,\u201d he says.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cTea has been for years the mainstay of our economy, with plantations now spread over 230,000 hectares of land.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Although there has been a slight downturn in the industry in recent times, says Mr Somasundaram, thanks to increasing costs, challenges in finding labour and a recent return to privatisation, he says that marking the sesquicentennial anniversary is particularly important because the industry is at a crossroads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/slhc-canberra-shared-global-ceylon-tea-party-sri-lanka-high-commission-2\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18460\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/SLHC.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cWe face limitations on the price our tea can reach and have to evaluate whether we can absorb escalating production costs and whether we need to consider diversification or if mechanisation is the answer,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cBut we have an excellent set of people and the industry is being sustained in spite of these negatives.
