“…Hossain and Abdulla [26] have conducted similar studies using the ARIMA model to predict tea production from 1972-2013; the data and adequacy of the fitted model were tested using the run test and the Jarque-Bera test criteria, followed by residual test analysis. On the other hand, Saha et al [6] compared the growth rates of the area, production, and yield of tea in Bangladesh before and after (1972-2018) independence, and found an increase in the average area, production, and productivity by 1.05, 1.89, and 0.98%, respectively, after independence, using a growth model and decomposition analysis.…”
