Hadiya Real Tea Estate Cultivates Tea and Areca Nut Together in Jhapa
Hadiya Real Tea Estate in Jhapa has pioneered the simultaneous commercial cultivation of tea and areca nut on 60 bighas of land. Estate operator Bhakti Adhikari stated that the mixed cultivation is feasible due to the similar climate and soil requirements of both crops, with the areca nut trees providing beneficial shade for the tea bushes. This initiative marks the first institutionalized intercropping of these two cash crops by a commercial company in Jhapa.
