西亚地缘政治紧张正在扰乱印度的茶叶出口, Geopolitical tensions in West Asia are disrupting India’s tea exports and boosting instant tea demand due to gas shortages.

目前西亚冲突正在扰乱印度的茶叶出口,特别是向海湾国家出口的正统茶叶,据古瓦哈提茶叶买主协会的Dinesh Bihani说,印度每年向该地区出口的2.8亿公斤茶叶中,有40%以上出口到这个地区。 The ongoing West Asia conflict is disrupting India’s tea exports, especially orthodox tea to Gulf nations, with over 40% of the country’s 280 million kg annual tea exports going to the region, according to Dinesh Bihani of the Guwahati Tea Auction Buyers' Association. 地缘政治紧张局势减缓了新秩序,引起人们对可能从正统茶叶生产转变的关切。 Geopolitical tensions have slowed new orders, raising concerns about a potential shift away from orthodox tea production. 在一些州,商业天然气供应的削减高达8%,迫使旅馆关闭,并增加了对即时茶的需求,这种茶无需气瓶就可以制备。 Commercial gas supply cuts in some states, up to 8%, have forced hotel closures and boosted demand for instant tea, which can be prepared without gas cylinders. Bihani建议将即时茶消费从3%增至8-10%, Bihani suggested increasing instant tea consumption from 3% to 8–10% could support domestic demand. 与此同时,欧盟石油和天然气部长哈迪普·辛格·普里(Hardeep Singh Puri)证实,尽管航运中断,印度的能源供应依然安全,理由是原油来源多样化,石油产品、液化石油气和天然气的国内供应稳定。 Meanwhile, Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri confirmed India’s energy supplies remain secure despite shipping disruptions, citing diversified crude sourcing and stable domestic supplies of petroleum products, LPG, and natural gas.
