Districts of Mansehra, Battagram, Swat and AJK are ideal for tea plantation-

Does not know about SWAT whereas Manshera sounds like a plan. As per my understanding Tea can be cultivated at warm, humid climate with a rainfall measuring at least 100 centimetres a year. Ideally, it likes deep, light, acidic and well-drained soil. Given these conditions, tea will grow in areas from sea level up to altitudes as high as 2,100 metres above sea level. We do it in Kerala, Assam and look at the climatic conditions of Srilanka.

Under which province does Tattagram falls ? Does these places has the same climatic conditions as I posted above.

@Joe Shearer @Bilal9 @CHN Bamboo, I lift my tea mug to you. Happy tea day.

Most Pakistanis like me drink very sweet tea. Reducing tea consumption even 10% will do wonders for public health and obesity in Pakistan.

There is nothing real called Obesity. That word is particularly used in context of the female and is made up by Capitalists to sell their "health and wellness" products, their exercise clothes and equipment, their ridiculous fashion clothes and their TV dramas and films.

Manshera and battagram. Actually SWAT would be suitable as well considering the soil table.

There is most definitely something called an ideal weight range; it is a medical fact. Lots of diseases and medical complications are related to a body weight or body fat index outside the ideal range. Anybody who has tried to do pull-ups will tell you that a reduction of just five kilos makes a huge difference,

Tea plantation is a curse. It strips the land of nutrients and renders it useless for any other crop. It's far more dangerous than cash crops like sugarcane or coffee or even avocados

It is sad that an agricultural country like Pakistan needs to import tea and wheat. I mean I can understand importing high tech machinery, but food stuffs for God's sake?

The corrupt elite have utterly destroyed this country.

And yet we still have prime farming land used for tobacco plantation in SWAT and Mardan?
