He said this while making a special statement to the media yesterday (July 5) in the Talawakele area.
Speaking there, Mr. A said that a lot of diesel and petrol are needed daily for the transportation of tea leaves from the tea garden to the tea factory, the production of tea powder, and the control of the tea plantations.
He also said that due to the power cut, there is a huge need for fuel, and due to the current situation, diesel has to be provided to the personnel running the transport services to transport the wood for the production of tea powder and the produced tea powder to the tea auction.
He mentioned that nearly 10 lakh people are directly and indirectly employed in the tea industry, and if the tea economy collapses, a major source of foreign exchange for this country will stop.
Mr. Roshan Rajadore also said that there will be a problem for the jobs of those 10 lakh people.
He also pointed out that if it is not possible to supply tea from this country that meets the needs of the countries that buy tea, those countries will buy tea from countries like India and Kenya.
People waiting in queues to get the fuel required for the tea plantations from the petrol stations located in the towns around the tea plantations are against it because the tea plantations will not get any fuel stock at all and if the Petroleum Corporation directly releases the fuel required by the tea plantation companies, it will store the fuel stocks. Mr. Troshan Rajadore said that the collection facilities are also available in estate companies.
He further said that due to the current fuel crisis, the production of tea powder has been temporarily stopped by several plantation companies, and due to the current situation and the increase in the cost of living, there has been a tendency for women plantation workers working in tea plantations to go for foreign jobs.
