Plans Underway to Revive Garaina Tea Plantation in Wau
What happened
The long-dormant Garaina Tea Plantation, which ceased production in 1995, is being planned for commercial redevelopment. Marsh Narewec, the district's first member of Parliament, is coordinating local and international experts and development partners for the project. The proposed 400-hectare nucleus estate could generate between 600 and 620 metric tonnes of premium tea annually, potentially creating an agricultural industry worth K20–K30 million per year.
