Abstract : Tea production is one of the main income resources of Sri Lanka. There are 896 tea estates situated in Sri Lanka. Dunkeld tea estate located in Nuwara Eliya district, which has 21 tea estates in total. In this study a step has been taken to develop a mathematical model to optimize the tea production of Dunkeld tea estate. A brief introduction to Goal Programming given in the model. The mathematical model mainly targeted profit, expenditure, production and supply. All the expected values were decided by the factory management. This model can be applied for other industries which have similar environmental situations.

Keywords : Optimization, Tea Estates, Goal Programming, Mathematical Model, Sri Lanka, Production.
