UPASI The United Planters’ Association of Southern India (UPASI), established in 1893, is the apex body representing the plantation industry in the southern states of India—Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka. With a rich legacy of over a century, UPASI plays a pivotal role in promoting the interests of tea, coffee, and rubber growers in the region.
The organization serves as a vital link between the plantation sector and the government, advocating for policy reforms, sustainable practices, and scientific research. Through its well-equipped research stations, educational initiatives, and industry outreach, UPASI continues to support innovation, productivity, and environmental stewardship in the plantation ecosystem of South India.
