About agriculture in Darjeeling

Darjeeling is situated in the Lesser Himalayas of West Bengal, perched at an elevation of approximately 2,000 meters. The surrounding landscape is characterized by steep mountain slopes and breathtaking views of the Kanchenjunga range, with vast tea gardens blanketing the hillsides and interspersed with dense temperate forests.

The region is world-renowned for its Darjeeling tea, which is the primary agricultural product grown in numerous historic estates. Beyond tea, local farmers cultivate mandarin oranges, ginger, and cardamom on terraced fields, while floriculture—particularly the growing of orchids and roses—is a significant and expanding sector in the higher altitudes.

Farm workers and agronomists will find most opportunities within the tea industry, which requires intensive labor for plucking and processing between March and November. There is a steady demand for plantation managers and experts in organic farming and sustainable mountain agriculture, as many estates are transitioning to ecological practices.
