Small holding tea cultivation being a high income generating economic activity among the rural working population, it preserves potentiality of rural economic growth. Growing unemployment and declining economic benefit from traditional farming activities motivated the rural workforce to seek for farming options that could provide them opportunities for higher economic growth. Small holding tea cultivation is one of such innovative activity of the farmers in Assam including Goalpara district. This new input in farming activity presented a steady growth during 1980– 2000,But,wide variation in price of green tea leaves produced by the farmers imparted a negative effect on growth of small holding tea cultivation since the beginning of the present century resulting in sharp declining growth in Goalpara district. The farmers are compelled to consider this farming activity as similar to earlier traditional farming activities practised by them. Certain policy protection to ensure price stability of the product of the small holding tea cultivators is an urgent need of the hour to sustain the growth and productivity of this farming sector that maintains high potentiality to upgrade rural economy.
