We are proud to be associated with an industry which has an ancient heritage dating
back 5,000 years. To us, tea is not a product but a commitment to convey value and
culture.
This annual report celebrates the legacy of Late Hemendra Prasad Barooah, a trend
setter in the tea industry, whose visions are promulgated in our continued effort to
deliver quality teas from our plantations.
The history of B&A Ltd has stood the test of time and is being renewed continuously
in our product offering which has created its own niche. With seamless efforts of our
estate managers and workers teas manufactured in Mokrung, Gatoonga and Salkathoni tea
estates of our company are recognized as competing best in the South Bank of Assam Valley.
With active support and guidance from all our stakeholders we enjoy unparalleled trust of
allour buyers.
We hope that the company has been performing to the aspiration of its shareholders as
it has maintained a balanced growth in terms of revenue and profit during the last five
financial years. The year 2015-16 in particular has remained good despite the company
facing multiple challenges. We are happy to maintain the same quantum of dividend as of
the previous year.
We continue our emphasis on the two basic tenets of Corporate Governance, Transparency
and Accountability, laid by my late father, Hemendra Prasad Barooah. We are committed to
provide equal opportunity to all our employees in a safe and healthy working environment.
