Lack of uniformity in quality, use of outdated technology in tea processing, keen competition from Indian tea, unauthorized out flow of semi-processed tea to India, lack of adequate protection from the government and the like were the main problems identified by the survey, furthermore, the political instability, frequent bandas, undue pressure from different interest groups, lack of easy accessibility to bank loans, implementation of labor legislation and similar other difficulties were also the prominent issues that had adversely affected Nepal's tea industry.
Nepal has liberalized its trade sector to a considerable extent. Its decision to entire the WTO and BIMSTEC also indicates that the trade will be liberalized even further in the future.
