Established by the Committee of Commodity Problems (CCP) at its Forty-fourth Session (1969) as the Consultative Committee on tea, following a series of ad hoc intergovernmental consultations under FAO auspices beginning in 1965 and an emergency meeting of tea-exporting countries in 1969 which agreed on an informal export quota arrangement for 1970. The title of this Body was changed in 1971 to that above.
