 BTRI
 Stands for : Bangladesh Tea Research Institute

 Headquarters: Sreemangal, Moulvibazar district, Sylhet,

Bangladesh.

 Established in : 28th February, 1957

 Background
 Tea industry had limited access to technology (in
1947)

 Pakistan Tea Board decided to established a tea

research station (in 1952)

 A research station was finally established at

Sreemangal on the 28th February, 1957.

 After liberation, it was named Bangladesh Tea

Research Institution (BTRI).
 Remarkable Achievements

qualities)
 Research Divisions & Execution

 Technology Division
 Tea processing: Black Tea is famous in whole world. CTC
(crush, tear, curl) is the most famous method of making
Black Tea.
 CTC method has 5 steps for making Black Tea
1. Withering
2. Rolling or Crushing
3. Fermentation
4. Drying
5. Sorting
 Research Division & Execution

 Statistics & Economics Division

 This division collects the economic statistical
information of the production, profit & research
of tea.

 It also collects the information of labor and wage

labor.
 Conclusion

 Bangladesh is an important tea producing country.
