Tea Research Association Launches TocklAI, AI Model for Tea Industry
The Tea Research Association (TRA) launched TocklAI, the first AI model developed exclusively for the global tea industry, at its 62nd Annual General Meeting in Kolkata. Designed to assist planters and small growers, TocklAI uses TRA's verified research archive to provide guidance on pest control, soil health, climate adaptation, and processing. The project, led by TRA Secretary Joydeep Phukan, aims to make over a century of tea research more accessible, especially benefiting small tea growers who produce more than half of India's tea.
