And from that Kodala tea garden was developed. The tea garden was established in 1894. After independence in 1976, at that time the government leased the tea gardens to private ownership. Among them, Platas Bangladesh has been operating Kodala tea garden for a long time.
The Anwar Group leased the tea garden from Platas Bangladesh in 1993 at a loss. BRAC officially leased the Kodala Tea Garden on October 7, 2004 as the Anwar Group also failed to make a profit. Under the Bangladesh Tea Board under the Ministry of Commerce, Kodala Tea Garden was leased from the government by BRAC for a tea garden of two and a half thousand acres. Last year 3 and a half lakh kg of tea was produced, this time the target is 4 lakh kg of tea. Kodala tea garden is now in the 3rd position out of 162 tea gardens in the country.
Besides tea and rubber plantations, seedlings of various species of trees are being renewed. Besides, mango, agar, neem and radish bamboo have also been cultivated in this garden. Although Plantas Bangladesh and Anwar Group did not see any profit from planting Kodala tea garden, since BRAC Kodala tea garden was leased, the tea garden has now become a profitable organization of BRAC with efficient management through various schemes.
