GUWAHATI: An Indian business delegation to Egypt and Israel would explore trade possibilities in the North East, particularly in the tea sector.
The delegation which left on Friday and would tour the two countries till February 16 includes a tea planter from Assam, Bidyananda Barkakoty.
Barkakoty, who is the vice president of North Eastern Tea Association (NETA), was scheduled to interact with importers, traders and concerned tea officials of these two countries.
Barkakoty said that Egypt could be a viable market as it consumes CTC tea and Assam's 90 per cent tea production was of this variety.
The promotion of Assam Tea in the international market was feasible for its ''uniqueness'' in the sense that it was ''strong, bright and full-bodied liquour'', he said.
Tea is the lifeline of Assam's economy and it is in everybody's interest that the tea industry should be healthy and grows.
Barkakoty was selected by the Indian Institute of Entrepreneurship under the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises.
