Kjære FM, hvis budsjettet har LTCG, er dumt over FPI-skatt, kan bare Gud hjelpe D-St NY DELHI: Siden siden tragisk skatt har Dalal Street kommet for å forholde seg til Unionens budsjett med noen tilpasning av skatter som kan skade eller hjelpe aksjeinvestorer. Utenlandske porteføljeinvestorer har tatt opplevelsen mer seriøst enn noen andre og lært å være en gang bitter, to ganger sjenert. Statsminister Narendra Modi selv drev slike frykt i oppkjøringen til EUs budsjett, ved åpenbart å spørre folk som tjener penger fra aksjemarkedet for å betale mer skatt. Mens gjennomsnittlig egenkapitalinvestor leser tegn på avkastning av den langsiktige kapitalgevinstskatten, utviklet FPI raskt kalde føtter, med forsiktighet som de har hatt en svekkende rupee, noe som skjedde i fortjenesten deres, selv da de begynte å svare på den forandrede dynamikken til den økonomiske verden, etter å ha strammet av UD Fed og Donald Trump på grunn av det amerikanske presidentskapet. Den siste FPI-utstrømningen fra India hadde noe som var i tråd med utløpet sett fra andre fremvoksende markeder, mens noe hadde å gjøre med en økning i dollaren, og noen drevet av forvirringen over langsiktig kapitalgevinst (LTCG) skatt . Analytikere sier at hvis LTCG faktisk er brakt tilbake, kommer det til å sende referanseindeksindeksene tumbling. En analytiker projiserte minst en 15 prosent korreksjon i markedet i et slikt scenario. Januar var fjerde måned i rad når utenlandske porteføljeinvestorer har dumpet innenlandske aksjer. De solgte Rs 33.000 crore verdt av aksjer i hjemmemarkedet. Innenlandske institusjonelle investorer har spilt frelser hele dette mens og holdt det innenlandske aksjemarkedet flytende. De pumpet i noen Rs 40.000-odd crore inn i innenlandske aksjer de siste fem månedene, noe som hjalp noe med å dempe nedadgående presset på grunn av FPI selloff. DII har satt så store innsats på innenlandske aksjer til tross for forsinkelsen i inntjeningens inntjening. Rundt julen projiserte jeg en korrigering på 10-15 prosent i løpet av de neste fire-fem månedene som et grunnscenario. Jeg frykter en slik korreksjon med mindre budsjettet gir FPIer en forsikring om deres skattestatus. Den 21. desember CBDT sirkulære sa FPIs som har mer enn 50 prosent av eiendeler i India vil bli beskattet her. Mens det sirkulære ble satt i fjor forrige uke, forventer FPI noen beslutning i budsjettet, sa Saurabh Mukherjea fra Ambit Capital til ETNow. Mukherjea forventer noen konsekvenser, dersom beslutningen ikke er til smak av FPI. Han sa at klientene hans er ganske bekymret for det. Ajay Tyagi, EVP amp Fondforvalter for aksjer i UTI Mutual Fund. sa markedet ikke var klar for en økning i skattestrukturen. Han bemerket hvordan statsminister Modis bemerket om lav kapitalgevinst beskatning i India hjemsøkt markedet og tvunget finansminister Arun Jaitley til umiddelbart å utstede en avklaring. Hvis det skulle være noen forekomst av enten langsiktige eller kortsiktige kapitalgevinstskatt som ble introdusert med høyere rente, er jeg sikker på at det vil fullstendig spytte markedet, sa Tyagi. Mukherjea sa at DIIer var kraften som presset markedet høyere de siste 12 månedene. Men den makt kan sprekke hvis overgrepet på økonomien fortsetter. Tre bevegelige deler - takststruktur for FPIs, Trumps eget Budsjett og hva som skjer hjemme etter den svarte pengemerkningen - vil til slutt ha betydning for økonomisk vekst og på den innenlandske investorstemningen, sa ambitkapitalanalytikeren. Utenlandske investorer vil se frem til Unionens budsjett med fingrene krysset. Det er også frykt for at den innenlandske loven om unnvikelse kan seire over traktatfordeler ved en eventuell tvist under Singapore og Mauritius-avtalene, noe som kan true den lavere skattesatsen for FPI i de to årene mellom 1. april 2017 og 31. mars , 2019. Budsjettforventninger Den 1. februar forventes finansminister Arun Jaitley å presentere et skattemessig vennlig 2017 EU-budsjett, gitt at det kommer innen måneder med demonetisering. Med bare noen få dager å gå til den årlige økonomiske planen, har den indiske bedriftssektoren allerede begynt å greie for det. Her er noen av de største forventningene til Indias business tycoons fra budsjettet 2017: Det må være vekstorienterte Budsjett: Naina Lal Kidwai Naina Lal Kidwai, tidligere president ved Federation of Indian Commerce and Industry Chamber of Commerce (FICCI), sa veksten skulle være et sentralt element i budsjettet 2017 fremover. Hun sa: Jeg vet ikke hvordan robustheten vil forbli når det gjelder generelle tall, selv om etterlevelse går opp. Så, nærtidsgjennomtrengning er et problem. Men det vi kan håpe på er at det tydeligvis krever at veksten er sparket opp igjen. Alt som går inn i offentlige utgifter som denne regjeringen gjorde ekstremt godt i sitt første år, presset mye BNP-vekst inn i systemet. Den andre ville være noe igjen å gjøre med jobber fordi folk som har mistet jobber i formell sektor går inn i NREGA, og disse lommene må se noen fordeler. Og den tredje ville være noe som bidrar til forbruk fordi det vil hjelpe produksjonen tilbake, la hun til. Individuelle skattesatser kan reduseres i budsjett: Adi Godrej Adi Godrej, CMD hos Godrej Consumer Products Limited, sa GST vil føre til enorm økning i FMCG-etterspørselen. Det vil selvsagt føre til generell økning i BNP-veksten i landet, i tillegg sa han. Han sa: Jeg regner med at de enkelte skattesatsene også vil bli redusert, og jeg tror at unntaksnivåene vil bli økt i dette budsjettet fordi regjeringens finanspolitiske stilling vil være utmerket for det neste året. Selvfølgelig har de ikke de nøyaktige tallene ennå, men det vil bli en enorm samling fra de store innskuddene som har kommet etter demonetisering i bankene. Mange av dem ville føre til høyere skattesatser og regjeringens samlinger etter min mening burde være gode. Budsjett kan se nedgang i sparingsrente: Kishore Biyani Kishore Biyani, konsernsjef i Future Group, sa at han ser frem til mer enn GST enn budsjettet, og i budsjettet er det offentlige incitamenterende forbruket noe han ser frem til . Vi håper på GST mer enn budsjettet, og i budsjettet er regjeringens incentiverende forbruk noe vi gleder oss til. Besparelsesrenten kan komme ned og forbruket kan oppfordres, og det er det vi gleder oss til, sa Biyani. Tre sektorer for å dra nytte av Modis Budsjett beveger Sunil Subramaniam, konsernsjef i Sundaram Mutual, sa at landsbygdens økonomi, infrastruktur og banker som driver piggyback vil dra nytte av statsbudsjettet. . Den største utfordringen for regjeringen er sysselsettingsgenerering over to til tre år. Så, mega prosjekter som støtter sysselsetting generasjon på en stor måte vil være et fokus. Landsbygdssektoren (vil være et fokus), delvis fordi de to store statene går til valget - Punjab og UP. Og det tredje er regjeringene sterk trang til å gjøre demonetiseringen ser vellykket ut. Hvis du ser på det fra det perspektivet, vil de definitivt ønske å gjøre et stort sett med ting som delvis Modi annonserte 31. desember, men de vil gjennomføre det momentumet og det vil bli mye positivt på flere sektorer, han added.1) Kritisk undersøke problemene og utsiktene til teindustrien i India. Neste historie 2) TB regnes som en av de dødeligste sykdommene i India. Undersøk hvorfor også diskutere behovet for utryddelse og tiltak tatt av regjeringen i denne forbindelse. Forrige historie The Big Picture 8211 Kina reduserer militær styrke: Hva er signalet 8211India, verdens nest største teprodusent, står overfor bærekraftutfordringer på fire områder 8211 landbruksproblemer, kvalitet og sikkerhet, stigende produksjonskostnader og sosiale problemer. 8211Allem de forskjellige begrensningene som karakteriserer teproduksjonen, er noen av problemene dårlig administrasjonspraksis, alder av tebusker og andre infrastrukturelle problemer. 8211Besides er det også kvalitetsaspekter som mangel på standardisering og kvalitet med hensyn til pakking, plantevernmidler og MRL-problemer som påvirker eksport av indisk te. 8211Andre enn dette, møter bøndene vanligvis også utnyttelse på hånden av håndterere, blir betalt abysmalt lavt, slik at de ikke selv kan opprettholde den minste levestandarden som trengs. Dette resulterer i at de ikke har noen sosial eller økonomisk sikkerhet. 8211 En markedsfremmende ordning bør konseptualiseres for å møte utfordringene som den indiske teindustrien står overfor på hjemmemarkedet og i det internasjonale markedet. Et minimumslønn bør fastsettes for å sikre at teplanterne ikke utnyttes. 8211 En riktig tidsperiode bør løses, hvorpå buskene skal plantes på nytt, for å opprettholde kvaliteten på tebladene. De viktigste gunstige effektene av slike tiltak vil være i form av stabilisering av innenlandske priser ved å opprettholde en fin balanse mellom produksjon og etterspørsel, sammen med sosial og finansiell sikkerhet for plantasjerne. Du har gitt god oversikt over problemer med teindustrien, men jeg tror helt savnet utsiktene til teindustrien. Inkluder 8220Plant Protection Code8221 problem, global konkurranse, eiendom lisens etc et sted i btwn .. Awesome kompis du virkelig grave inn i gvt nettsteder8230 og komme ut med unike aspekter 8230. Hvis noen forslag jeg har gitt det ville også ha tatt med plantebeskyttelseskode retningslinjer ved te - brett. Du kan også inkludere 8220trustea8221 initiativ for å bekrefte te kvalitetsstandarder. Te-turisme: Å styrke inntektene til tehager og samtidig bygge merkevarebilde Og ytterligere inntekter eller alternative inntekter ved kommersielt å utforske tekatinkene i virkeligheten krever denne typen spørsmål visse unike aspekter. ellers vil repetisjon være der, og vi vil ende opp med å ha karakterer mellom 55-65. Teindustrien har sin opprinnelsesgenesis I britene er det britiske kolonistyret. Det utilitære konseptet av britisk. ga dem presset til å utnytte arbeiderne til det maksimale. Arven har fortsatt nesten det samme som arbeidstakere på te-gården. Lang arbeidstid (12-14 timer). Som ikke bare er exploativ, men også uforholdsmessig. Lønn i forhold til arbeidet er mindre. Fotturer er knyttet til selskapets fortjeneste og lønnene reduseres enda når eieren føler det for å gjøre det. Manglende formalisering og mindre inntrenging av sivile samfunn og også tvang av labordep8217t. Hvor det er bundet til å snakke med organisasjonen og ikke til enkeltpersoner Så langt som den andre siden av historien er bekymret, sier eier og selskap at de står overfor tøff konkurranse fra de nasjonale og internasjonale aktørene i feltet. Så de må ty til kostnadsfordeler analyse også Tea landbruket er svært utsatt for klima og værforhold og svært utsatt for ulike andre eksterne faktorer også. Så de trenger også å investere i disse områdene for å holde kvaliteten på nivå. Kravene er ekte av arbeiderne og bekymringen for eiendomsmeglerne kan også bli børstet til side. It8217s govt. som må gå inn og arbeide som voldgiftsdommer. Becoz i Tea India monopoliserer nesten på den internasjonale arenaen. Også å være en arbeidsintensive felt. Det er knyttet til velferd og levebrød for et stort antall mennesker. Godt skrevet, men du har lagt vekt på problemer som ignorerer prospekter i en viss grad. Resten av svar og innhold er opp til merket. Tebehandling og dyrking i India er en viktig inntektskilde, FOREX og sysselsettingsgenerering. Men det er beslaglagt av noen problemer som trenger oppmerksomhet: Arbeidsvelferd: Det sysselsetter 3,5 millioner arbeidere. Mange av disse er kvinnelige arbeidere, spesielt i teboden. Det har vært rapporter om friksjon med ledelsen over lønn og bonus fra Munnar. Det gode er at kommunen har tatt hensyn til problemet. Redusert støtte under utenrikshandelspolitikken 2015-2020: Fordelen er redusert fra 5 til 3, som planterne føler, vil skade deres interesse. Trenger å gå OrganicSustainable: Det er en økende etterspørsel i utlandet, så vel som innenlands for organisk dyrket, plantevernmiddelfri te. Nylige problemer: Greenpeace-rapporten med tittelen Trouble Brewing on Indian Tea fremhevet nærvær av cocktail av plantevernmidler i indisk te. Hvis disse rynkene strykes ut, har den indiske teindustrien en lys fremtid. Det bidrar til økonomisk utvikling gjennom sysselsetting i kupert områder i Nordøst, Kerala, Tamil Nadu og Uttarakhand, og gjennom FOREX-inntjening. Utsikter forventes bare å bli bedre med regjeringens støtte til markedsinnsats i kjøperlandene. Te er en viktig kontant avlingindustri som skaper stor sysselsetting og tjener verdifull valuta. Nylig teindustrien har hatt problemer med kvalitet. arbeidskraft og bærekraftige problemer. Problemer med teindustrien: 1) kvalitetsproblemer. problem med uholdbar praksis som høy bruk av plantevernmidler og kvalitetssertifisering. 2) Arbeidsomrøring i enkelte deler om lav lønn, lang arbeidstid og tilrettelegging av grunnleggende fasiliteter for arbeidstakere ved plantasjer. 3) Ny handelspolitikk har redusert eksportstøtten for bulkhandel. som vil treffe allerede svak eksport 4) aldrende tebusker Utsiktene til teindustrien: 1) økende verdensmarkedspriser og fallende produksjon i Kenya hvor India kan eksportere mer. 2) Nye markeder som Kasakhstan. Russland. Amerikansk Kina. iran. Egypt og Chile andre enn tradisjonelle europeiske og Midtøsten markeder. 3) te styret tar proaktivt tiltak for å øke kvalitetssertifiseringen av råvarene som vil øke troverdigheten internasjonalt og internasjonalt. Teindustrien som er en viktig sektor i India8217s økonomi og samfunnet har lenge vært ødelagt av ulike problemstillinger siden lang tid. Start fra produksjonen bemerkes det at et flertall av testbedrifter i India styres av små produsenter som trenger kollektivisering. Uansett et problem har steget med den uholdbare måten te blir dyrket med overdreven bruk av plantevernmidler, økologisk landbruk og bærekraftig kultur må fremmes. De lengre arbeidstidene, dårlige lønnene, mangelen på grunnleggende fasiliteter i industrielle enheter har økt tillitenes underskudd mellom arbeidere og ledelsen. For India, den fjerde største eksportøren av te, virker fremtidsutsikterne for teindustrien bright. with Kenya, en av de største teeksportene som står overfor tørke, kan markedsplassen som er ledig av India, bli tatt. Dagens regjering trenger å treffe hensiktsmessige tiltak for å forbedre indisk tekonkurranseevne. 1) Guys plz gjennomgå mitt answer8230. India, den nest største produsenten av te i verden, samt verdens største forbruker av te, bruker nesten 30 prosent av den globale produksjonen. Til tross for produksjonen er India også den største eksportøren av te etter Kina. Problemer: Blant de ulike begrensningene som karakteriserer teproduksjonen, er noen av problemene dårlig administrasjonspraksis, alder av tebusker og andre infrastrukturelle problemer. Dessuten er det også kvalitetsaspekter som mangel på standardisering og kvalitet med hensyn til pakking, pesticidproblemer. Arbeidsgodtnelse er enda et problem for teindustrien som ikke har fast arbeidstimer, og det er en uforholdsmessig del mellom arbeidet og lønnen, noe som til slutt fører til agitasjoner og streik. På grunn av mer konkurransedyktig prising på grunn av redusert teproduksjon i Kenya de siste to årene, økte Indias utsiktene for å øke profitten i eksporten, da en av største bulkprodusentene Assam CTC var i direkte konkurranse med kenyansk te. Te styringsaktiviteter bør derfor være rettet mot å øke produksjon, produktivitet og kvalitetsforenkling av handel og salgsfremmende eksport for å sikre maksimal avkastning til produsentene, inkludert små produsenter, for å sikre arbeidernes og forbrukernes interesser. Vennligst prøv det gutta (Takk mange på forhånd) 1) Teindustrien i India utviklet under britisk regel. Post Independence, industrien har vokst med sprang n grenser for å stige som en stor aktør på verdensplan. Industrien står imidlertid overfor betydelige problemer som følger: 1. Arbeidsproblemer: Industrien er stigmatisert av off amp på arbeidsangrep på grunn av lav lønn til arbeidstakere. Arbeidsforholdene og sikkerheten som tilbys er også godt under globale industristandarder, noe som resulterer i misnøye. 2. Negativ markedsføring: Rapportene relatert til tilstedeværelse av 35 farlige plantevernmidler i indisk te av NGO8217 som grønn fred har resultert i betydelig negativ publisitet som reduserer global konkurranseevne for indisk te. 3. Utenrikspolitiske problemer: Utenrikspolitikken 2015-20 stimulerer ikke te så mye (3) mot den tidligere (5) som har redusert global konkurritivitet av indisk te. Te er en viktig kontanteravling. India er den fjerde største eksportøren av te. Indisk te har blitt relished internasjonalt siden årtier nå. Imidlertid har teindustrien i India vært overfor en rekke problemer på det siste: - gtEn arbeidsintensiv industri er det under kritikk for lengre arbeidstimer på 12-13 timer per dag med en svak lønn på Rs.240 per dag. - industrien har ingen fast bonus rate som er et spørsmål om utilfredshet til arbeidere som call-off arbeid for å protestere veldig ofte. - gtDen utenrikspolitikk 2015-2020 har redusert fordelene på bulkrate til 3 fra tidligere 5 for teindustri som er bekymringsfull for eksportørene. - En NGO offentliggjorde tilstedeværelsen av plantevernmidler i indiske teblader som er engstelig for å dempe omdømmet til indisk te og dermed begrense sitt marked. Det er ennå en sølvfôr, utsiktene til teindustrien i India er: - gtGiven tørken i Korea i år har teprisene gått opp internasjonalt, noe som gir teindustrien en flott mulighet til å gjøre opp for tidligere års tap. - Oppvåkning om 8220s bærekraftige tea8221 i India har tatt fart og det skal bedre kvaliteten på indisk te som er sikker på å forbedre markedets etterspørsel. Selv om arbeiderne er helvete på deres krav, er det en sjanse til å finne en utvei som vil ha to fordeler: 1: En stor befolknings interesser (arbeidskraft i teindustri) vil bli servert. 2: Contended arbeidere betyr bedre arbeid som vil øke næringen. Te er en viktig eksport for India. Efforts bør styres for å styrke næringen for å forbedre sin konkurranseevne i det internasjonale markedet. Hei, noen observasjoner. Arbeidsintensiv, mangel på teknologibruk (for arbeidssaker, det er vanskelig å huske disse tallene uansett) Govt-policy 8211 som bonusrenten og enhver annen policy Endring i klima eller andre geografiske trekk som vil påvirke produsenten, hvis noen Mer teknologi, mindre arbeidsintensiv ekspnsjon til andre områder, (hvis det er mulig) Mindre pesticider, ikke flytte til organisk helt Bare tanker, kan være helt feil. Teindustrien i India er den største utenlandsk valutainntjener og arbeidskrevende sysselsettingssektor. India er den nest største produsenten av te i verden. 1. India har høyest produksjonskostnad blant store teproducerende land i verden. Kostnaden ved salg er over auksjonens realisering. 2. Lav avkastning generert av små te voksende selskaper. 1. Te-sektoren kjemper mot svak etterspørselsvekst, overforbruk og fallende priser, med store produsenter som India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia og Kenya konkurrerer alle for en del av et stillestående marked. 2. Uroligheten i Midtøsten har ytterligere muddied muddied vannet for indisk eksport 1. I de senere årene har te blitt jevnt å miste bakken til brus som valgfri drikkevare, særlig blant ungdommen. 2. Teforbruket per innbygger i India er lavt sammenlignet med det i andre land som USA, Storbritannia og Sri Lanka. 3. Assam hvor militant - og oppstandsorganer hengivet i utpressing, kidnapping og drap i teatrene er en årsak til lov og orden bekymring. 1. Tea Board-studien for å redusere den brede divergensen mellom auksjons - og utsalgspriser må gjennomføres. Det kan gi høye marginer for planterne. 2. Til og med en liten økning i innenlands teforbruk per innbygger oversetter til høy etterspørsel. Kampanjen blant ungdommen er avgjørende. 3. Økologisk te (for eksempel: Grønn te), som India nå produserer i små mengder, er mye etterspurt blant helsebevisste mennesker. Dens kampanje vil øke både innenlands etterspørsel og eksport etterspørsel. 4. For at markedsekspansjonsarbeidet skal lykkes, må det ledsages av forbedring i kvalitet, kostnadseffektiv produktivitet og sprucing markedsføringsinfrastruktur. En omfattende, langsiktig strategi som involverer alle deltakerne, vil sikkert bidra til å sette smaken tilbake i bryggen. Godt skrevet, herr RedPanda. 1.

Jeg føler at plantebeskyttelseskoden også bør nevnes som den er i nyheter siden lenge. Te i India er produsert i fem store regioner 8211 Assam, Darjeeling, Munnar, Nilgiris og Kangra. India er en av de fem store eksportørene av te i verden, og står for om lag 12 av verdens eksport. Teindustrien i India har vært overfor flere problemer internasjonalt og internasjonalt. - Prisene på te har falt, og klemmer fortjenestemarginene til produsentene. - Dansk te er ikke konkurransedyktig på grunn av høye produksjonskostnader som følge av lav produktivitet. - I arbeidet med å redusere innskrivningskostnadene blir arbeidstakere betalt med lav lønn og mindre bonus i forhold til tidligere år, og dermed forårsaker arbeidsulykker og streik. Etterspørselen etter høyere lønn vil ytterligere øke inngangskostnadene. Videre nedgang i prisene kan også føre til nedskæring av sysselsetting. - Under Utenrikshandelspolitikken 2015-2020 er te inkludert i Merchandise Exports fra India, og nyter fordel av 3 på bulk te. Tidligere ble te inkludert i Vishesh Krishi Gram Udyog Yojana og hatt en fordel på tvers av masse og verdiskapende te. Ikke-statlige organisasjoner har fremhevet den dårligere kvaliteten på te i India og tilstedeværelsen av høye nivåer av plantevernmidler. Dette kan tarnish merkevaren bildet av indisk te. Men på grunn av tørke i Kenya, den største produsenten av svart te, har prisene sørget for at den ikke er konkurransedyktig og gir overhånd til India i eksportmarkedet. I tråd med de siste globale trendene, fokuserer indiske produsenter på bærekraftig tepraksis. Det bør legges vekt på å redusere produksjonskostnadene ikke ved å redusere lønnene, men ved å øke produktiviteten. fin dekning abt problemene, men kan nevne store problemer som urbanisering, befolkningsvekst, klimaendringer osv8230.answer er ikke fullstendige prospekter er ikke inkludert8230.keep writi8230nice try8230. pls sjekk mitt svar Tea er en av Indias stiftdrikker og også en premium eksportvare. Men for sent har teindustrien stått overfor ulike problemer som 1- Ecological skade på åsene som vokser te, noe som fører til problemer som jordforringelse, tap av fruktbarhet og erosjon. 2- Mangel på statlig støtte, særlig når det gjelder lån til infrastruktur og interessemessige subsidier og andre fordeler som korntakere, sukkerrør og bomull produserer. 3- Mangel på dyktig arbeidskraft, noe som er en stor ulempe da teindustrien er arbeidsintensiv. 4- Klimaendringer, som fører til unormalt nedbør som fører til redusert produktivitet. 5- Ineffektiv markedsføring av indiske te i utlandet, noe som har ført til at vi mistet ut til andre produsenter som Kina og Sri Lanka. Men det er noen lyse utsikter som er verdt å se på som 1- Den raskt voksende organiske (ikke-gjærte) temarkedet, som henter betydelig høyere inntekter enn vanlig te. Spesialiserte teer som Darjeeling og Munnar te går også på premie. 2-regjeringer nylig presset og vekt på indisk eksport, spesielt i FTP 2015 kunne brukes til å øke teeksporten. 3- Tilkoblingssystemer som veien som forbinder nordøst til Thailand og Myanmar kan brukes som en rute for å øke teeksporten. Selv om te ikke er innfødt til India, har vi vedtatt det som vår egen, og nå er det en av våre mest elskede varer. Regjeringen og teindustrien bør derfor utvikle en multi-stakeholder modell for å implementere ordninger som vil hjelpe dem å konkurrere både i inn-og utland. (254) VENNLIGST REVISION. verdensomspennende te er den mest ettertraktede drikke etter vann og står for 650 millioner i årlig eksport og 3,5 millioner arbeidsplasser i India. men det har også sin del av problemer: 1) endring av klimaforholdene som medfører lav produktivitet. 2) Arbeidsutnyttelse som fører til lave lønninger og dårlige livsvilkår uten helse - og utdanningsinstitusjoner. 3) Aging tea busker resulterer i lav kvalitet og produsere. 4) rapporterer påstått at plantevernmidler forårsaket skade på merkeverdi. 5) Konkurranse fra billigere råvarer fra Srilanka og Kenya. 6) Mangel på politikk som støtter eksport til konkurransedyktige priser. 7) Ikke-anvendelse av vitenskapelig praksis i avl samt riktig merkevarebygging, med tanke på å ha GI-tag. Men lysere dager venter på å gi bedre utsikter: 1) svikt av avlinger andre steder som fører til bedre etterspørsel. 2) Proaktiv innsats av te styret i kvalitetssertifisering. 3) Økt vekt på sunn livsstil, noe som fører til økt forbruk av høykvalitetsvarianter som grønn te og hvit te. Te er en av de viktigste plantasjens avlinger i India og India rangerer 2. i teeksport. Still teindustrien har mange problemer knyttet til det. 1) Hyppige arbeidsulykker og agitasjoner for lønnsendringer har ført til forstyrrelser i aktiviteter. Det siste året ble en leder av en teplantasje i Assam drept av de agiterende arbeiderne. 2) Krenkelse av grunnloven for arbeidet med høye arbeidstimer, mangel på grunnleggende fasiliteter, lav lønn mv. 3) Indiske teesteder er ikke i stand til å håndtere produksjonskostnadene for te og dermed redusere konkurransemessige fordeler tidligere . 4) Manglende mekanisering og bruk av moderne teknologi påvirker produktiviteten i bransjen. 5) Mange importerende land klager over høye kjemiske komponenter i indisk te og påvirker dermed vår eksport. 6) Reduksjon av eksportsubsidier under den nye utenrikshandelspolitikken 2015-20 vil trolig påvirke vår eksport. India er i seg selv et stort te marked, og vi har også et godt marked utenfor. For å unngå frykt for importerende nasjoner, har indisk teforening kommet opp med PLANTBESKYTTELSESKODET som foreskriver grenser for kjemiske innganger i te. På samme måte indisk teforening sammen med Arbeidsdepartementet arbeider for å løse problemene til arbeidere og plantaiotner. India er den nest største teprodusenten i verden, selv om 70 av den forbruker i India. Den er rangert som fjerde når det gjelder eksport. En rekke kjente teer som Assam og Darjeeling vokser i India. Den største teproducerende staten er Assam. Utenfor er den indiske teindustrien utsatt for en rekke problemer. Tea er en arbeidsintensiv industri. gtLabour gruppe agitasjon 8211 tearbeidere krever en lønnsvekst. lange arbeidstider på opptil 12 timer i døgnet for en svak mengde av Rs.240 per dag har forårsaket dyp angst blant arbeidslivet. De har også klager om grunnleggende fasiliteter som tilbys av ledelsen, og dette har etterlatt seg et tillitsunderskudd. Forsinkelsen i stigningene i bonusrenten har intensivert sin agitasjon da ledelsen ikke har fastsatt en bonusrate. bonus gis bare når ledelsen har god fortjeneste. gtDen utenrikshandelspolitikk 2015-2020 - ligere te ble inkludert i Vishesh Krishi gram Yojana og likte 5 fordeler på tvers av masse og verdiskapende te nå er den redusert til 3 som sannsynligvis vil påvirke konkurranseevnen til indisk te. gtDue til den store bevisstheten om den organiske teen i dag, mange NGO8217er som Greenpeace protesterer mot bulkbruk av plantevernmidler, ble det funnet minst 34 pesticider i 46 prøver av dominerende merker. Dette er noen av de største fordelene teindustrien står overfor. Det bør treffes tiltak for å opplyse om en rekke fordeler den har over andre te fra utlandet. gtSince Kenya står overfor tørke som situasjon, er produktene deres redusert i stor grad og dermed ikke i stand til å eksportere, så det ville være riktig tidspunkt for den indiske industrien å trykke på eksporten til andre land. Men for dette skjer motivasjon av arbeid spiller en viktig rolle. Tea styret i India skal sikte på å ta opp arbeidsprosessene, og hjelp er bærekraftig dyrking av te for å sikre maksimal avkastning til sine produsenter. Teindustrien har et utsiktspunkt for å bidra til den generelle økonomien og sosiale arenaen av høy eksport og arbeidskraft. Teindustrien har problemer med: 1. Høy mengde plantevernmidler. Det har potensial til å true eksporten, og dermed påvirke den generelle teøkonomien. 2. Arbeidsforhold: Det er feilkommunikasjon mellom næringseiere og fagforening som skaper spenning i den generelle te sektor. 3. Utenrikshandelspolitikken har redusert benpasningene fra 5 til 3 på bulk te og dermed demotiverende stor teproduksjon. 4. Tilstedeværelse av kun 10 organiserte plantasjer ser ut til å treffe den samlede produksjonen. Utsikter for teindustrien er: 1. Å skape bærekraftig praksis kan skape tillit blant importørlandene. 2. Med høy konkurranseevne og kvalitetste, kan industrien monopolisere verdensmarkedet. 3. Tidlig og riktig intervensjon mellom eier og arbeid kan hjelpe til med å fremme miljøet som brenegiterer både industri og arbeidskraft. 4. Det er mindre påvirket av variasjonen av monsun. Så teindustrien kan være nyttig i profittoverskudd, ansettelsesmuligheter og dermed nyttig i sosial harmoni og skape India image over hele verden. Ans 8211 Teindustrien har stått overfor flere utfordringer både på produksjon og forbruk. Disse kan best beskrives som følger 8211 1. Å være en arbeidsintensiv industri, trengte lav lønnsarbeid å være i profitt. Og nå med arbeid i streik for å revidere lønnsfrekvensen, må man se på regjeringen. 2. Wrong publication of Indian Tea for its pesticides presence has created an warning in the exporting countries 3. Upfront challenges from the Nepal, Sri Lanka and Kenya in international market 4. Low use of technology in the tea farming lead to low per acreage output 5. Fluctuating International Prices also act as catalyst to increase its woes. Following Provisions can be made to soothe indian tea industry 8211 1. Comprehensions Plan to reform wage rate and linking it with other sector. 2. Promotion of Indian Tea in other new countries 3. Promoting the storage chain for tea industry as tea bushes has long shelf life 4. Mechanization of the tea farm can help to lower the production cost 5. Fixation of wages according to prevailing industry prices. Tea is globally one of the most popular and cheapest beverages, with a large network in India, producing around 30 of the global Tea Production. The tea plantation industry involves with production of leaf as an agricultural activity and its processing as industrial activity. This industry is challenged with a number of problems like 1. Fluctuation in the production due to climatic changes with reduced rainfall and rise in temperature. 2. Higher cost of production and low productivity with higher labour cost and longer picking cycles. 3.Increasing competition in the global market mainly in the export of CTC tea. 4.Slower pace of re-plantation of old bushes with no substantial increase in tea acreage. 5.Long working hours and less wages in proportion of the tea workers. 6. Coffee becoming popular as substitute of tea. However, there are prospects in this industry 1.Herbal Tea with value added variants like ginger, cardamom, tulsi with added flavours like fruits. 2. Better awareness among consumers for health benefits of green tea leading rise in demands. 3. The potential of demand of domestic market with people willing to pay for quality tea products should be utilized. So, there is need to draw a number of initiatives like Special Purpose Tea Fund(SPTF) to implement uprooting and replanting programme, improving standard of plucking, will help in improving quality and productivity and strengthen stand in global market. (220 words).Please review Attempted well. Structured good. Word limit respected. I think second part can accommodate two more points and conclusion can be trimmed a bit. Overall, good answer. Keep writing. Keep reviewing. Thanks for suggestion and reviewing. Tea is a major foreign revenue earner for India and has an equally significant role in domestic market. It has a huge potential for India but is marred by some constraints. Problems with tea industry: 1. Quality Issues: It has been alleged that due to excessive use of pesticides, various compounds have found to be present in tea leaves. 2. Labour issues: It is a labour-intensive industry and so there have been agitations for better pay amp working conditions 3. Structural constraints in management by tea board 4. Trade Policy: FTP 2015 has reduced export concessions for tea from 5 to 3 which affects its competitiveness 5. Global constraints: Global price shocks and civil strife in middle-east has adversely affected our exports 6. Low technology implementation and ageing tea bushes are also worrisome issues 7. Monsoon dependence Prospects for the industry: 1. Increasing global demand for Indian tea has raised the hopes of the industry 2. Venturing into new markets like China, Kazakhstan etc. 3. Recent delegation to Georgia is an excellent initiative to increase depth of markets for Indian tea 4. Implementation of Plant Protection Code will allay all apprehensions about pesticides in tea and boost its sales 5. Favourable export condition and domestic market promotion can also benefit the industry 6. Diversification of t ea leave products can open up new avenues 7. Impetus to food processing industry will lead to employment generation helping economic development in NE states 8. Improved supply chain and storage management will enhance shelf life The industry can prove to be a boon for India, as it generates both employment and economy, if timely steps are taken by govt and Tea board for giving proper boost to the industry in the right direction Well written and all the points are properly covered. Please review mine. Thanks Good answer. nice structured points.8217 kindly review mine. Well written8230.covered all relevant points, example of recent delegation of Georgia is well noted8230. A suggestion (please ignore if it doesnt make sense) In Prospects: clubbing various points like 1, 2 and 3 under 8216Increasing Demand and new markets8217 will make things easier for examiner. Overall excellent answer. Sanchay your answer covered all relevant points. but please clarify one thing, when it comes to address 8216critically examine8217 part of the question, I think the other side of the matter should also be mentioned. eg the issue of pesticide is yet to be confirmed. because our minister says it is a propaganda to hurt the industry and the industry says our tea is well accepted globally and safe to consume this is just a doubt. correct me if i am wrong and also please let me know is it ok if we enumerate the points like this when the question demands to examine critically. your answer is undoubtedly a decent answer i am just clarifying my doubt. thank you for sharing your answer and keep writing. I have already answered your query in Batman8217s answer (copying here) Though Greenpeace report is doubtful but there have been other instances of pesticides in the tea in past as well8230. It is the sheer exaggeration of Greenpeace report that govt is apprehensive about Yeah a line or two about the critical aspects should have been added by me8230.thanks Subhash Rabindra Jha I found your answer comprehensive. Just to add on to what you have written, here are some other issues (concerns) and prospects (I have also touched slightly on what ought to be done) for the industry: (a) The sector is labour-intensive with 50 of the workforce comprising women (b) No. of organized plantations stand at a meagre 1 of the total plantations (c) Political will needed: proposed amendments to the 8220Tea Act 19538221 must not be delayed any further (would remove archaic laws and as a significant measure, would define 8220small tea growers8221 as 8220persons owing less than 25 acres of tea estate in hisher name8221 also significant from the point of view of 8220protection of intellectual property rights of tea of Indian origin within India and abroad8221) (d) 8220Tea Development amp Promotion Scheme8221 through the Tea Board (12th Plan) (e) Taxes need to be rationalized (may be read, more widely, as 8220reviewing the existing pricing regime8221 that has rendered the Indian tea uncompetitive) (f) Also, single a ct replacing multiple central and state level acts governing the plantation industry (g) Need of the hour: coherence between environmental championsNGOs, Tea Bord, and Industry Stakeholders I must mention I really liked Batman8217s point on 8220Tea Tourism8221 Keep Writing and Reviewing Most of the tea plantations in india are of colonial time and due to old age the overall yield of tea plantation is decreasing every year and it will take minimum 20 year to get a beneficial outcome from new plantations which is a cause of concern in india. Moreover india is facing a stiff competition from srilanka, indonesia. vietnam and other south asian countries in tea export to its pre eisting market of middle east europe and US. The two main zones of himalayas and western ghats are facing environmental degradation to its maximum which is also effecting tea production in a way. Good inputs8230but if you read govt reportsnews articles8230.you will find that it is tea plantation that is degrading the environment and not the other way around (negligible impact in tea production) nice one8230esp. broad heading in constraints and 4th point in problems which gives hard facts too8230.plz review mine if possible Plz reconsider ur 5,6,7th points under problems of 8230. I think recently tea exports increased because of severe drought in Kenya affected their tea exports. Low technology point is unnecessary because most of the tea plantation estates maintained by industrial gaints in India and there is no instances of low technology problems in tea industries. And tea plantations are not water intensive crop. in fact in Assam and Darjeeling tea leaves plucked and processed and packed even before the arrival of mansion. I might be wrong. correct me if I am Remaining points are excellent. If you read the BS article you will find that it is 8216expected8217 that Kenyan drought would benefit India Technology problems India: Apart from handful of large firms, there are huge no. of small tea growers specially in NE who suffer from lack of technology You are right that tea is not water intensive but it is not about the amount of rain I am talking about (when referring to monsoon dependence) but the 8216timing8217 of rainfall that can be a constraint Hope it clears up things8230.thanks for the review btw you could have added 8220Geographical Indications8221 for higher returns8230 India is a leading producer of tea which support large population of India and has enormous potential for export. It is grown largely in southern India and NE India with diverse quality. en. Tea being a climate sensitive crop any undue variation in humidity or frost affects growth of leaves b. High input costs especially on labour together with fertilizer and pest management erodes the profitability of Tea industry. c. Though Indian tea is of good quality lack of quality control is a major problem in marketing. d. Ageing crops reduce both quality and yield where replanting is not done due to financial constraints. e. Socio-economic conditions of labour especially women are highly pathetic due to meagre wages with little social security. en. If domestic demand of India is improved it can effectively utilize its production even when international market demand falls. b. Low caffeine and other health benefits of tea can help in increasing its consumption among other drinks. c. Quality control and scientific management of farms are gaining importance due to less availability of land because of urbanization and to improve our export competitiveness d. Formation of cooperatives with proper implementation of Plantation Act can reduce labour unrest. However certain steps like replanting should be financially supported from government instead of increased fertilizer usage, rational tax structure, developing new varieties, improved welfare of labour, incorporating modern technology together with brand building, better realisation of prices can be the way forward for bright future of tea industry 1) Critically examine the problems and prospects of tea industry in India. (200 Words) Tea Industry is well developed in India as India is second largest producer of Tea after China. Tea is also state drink of Assam amp there are talks about considering Tea as National drink. Even after having such a strong presence of Tea industry n India it is suffering from various challenges like - gt Shortage of skilled labor 8211 tea industry is labor extensive industry amp providing employment to masses but still there is a gap of demand supply of labor - gt forced labor issues. - gt Weather Variation 8211 India having monsoon type of weather amp susceptible to many variation because of so many entangled phenomenon. As tea cultivation requires specific temperature amp rain condition, sometime variation leads to decreased production. - gt People inclination towards organic farming 8211 shift from tradition to organic farming results into decreased production amp increased price of tea which can hurt its global presence. - gt Tea Board 8211 as per recent recommendation by tea board they want tea producer to cut down the extensive use of pesticides, herbicides amp fertilizers rather go for organic farming but tea producers showing disinterest in same as it will lead to decreased overall production. - gt Fluctuation in Global demand 8211 may upshot or downgrade its price making it more susceptible. Apart from above mentioned challenges there is further prospect available in front of tea industry which are as follows 8211 - gt As India is 2nd largest producer in world 8211 there is scope of improvement to strengthened global presence. - gt Skill India program 8211 will give boost to tea industry by overcoming demand supply gap of labor. - gt Darjeeling Tea 8211 A Geographical Indication 8211 innovative measure should be taken to make its global presence impregnable. - gt Boost to export 8211 By developing more favorable law amp liberal customs procedure govt can promote its export - gt Development in NE 8211 By bringing more area under tea cultivation specifically in NE, which provides perfect geographical condition for its production, by technological interference would leads to spur in production ultimately making it more competent. - gt Opted for organic farming 8211 rather than waiting another to fully develop there presence global India should consider its improvement to develop its portfolio. Tea Industry can proved to be godsend for Indian economy by taking corrective step in direction of improved production and strengthening its presence amp making it more competent to beat competitors amp avail advantage of Indian geographical state. India8217s geographical uniqueness make India not only a major producer of tea but also a brand to be associated with. Despite of this, Indian Tea Industry is facing tough time due to a mix of structural and emergent problems 8211 1) Labour Issues 8211 Being a labour intensive industry, it always is short of labour. In addition to this, labourers demand higher wages and better working conditions, for this they strike frequently. 2) Loss of demand internationally and domestically. Other forms of beverages, such as soft drinks and coffee, are sweeping in place of tea, especially youngsters. 3) False propaganda against Indian Tea 8211 recently union government has found Greenpeace trying to damage reputation of Indian Tea by saying that it contains pesticides. Such reports of greenpeace and any other organisation finds no support in empirical evidences. 4) Climatic influence 8211 tea requires round the year rain showers. Due to deficient monsoon and frequent El-Nino spells Indian tea is facing a climatic challenge Prospects 8211 1) Indian Tea has not reached to the maturity in use of proper resources 8211 water, soil, fertilisers, etc. Kenyan tea is more competitive than Indian tea because they use fertilisers and pesticides, and manages water and soil scientifically. Thus India has a significant potential towards improving quality of tea. 2) New variants of tea are finding increasing space in market, such as yellow tea, green tea. With expansion in capacity these demands can easily be met with Indian tea industry 3) Famous tea producing areas - Nilgiri, Darjeeling, Assam, Cachar etc can be promoted for tea tourism. This will strengthen the brand image and allow tea producers to sell at a premium. awesome8230..good you mentioned abt greenpeace issue8230.very well structured8230plzz review mine. India was the largest exporter of tea till 2002, but today its the 4th largest producer in the tea sector. Size of the tea industry is 1.2 billion kg whereas export capacity is 200million kg per annum. It employs 35 lakh tea workers and thus generates massive employment especially in the north east. Prospects of tea industry in India: Due to successive droughts in kenya. the export price of tea has increased to 4kg whereas export price in india is 3-3.5kg. Thus indian tea sector may regain its competitiveness. But these prospects are limied by the challenges that are faced by the tea industry in india. Problems of tea industry in India: 1. Low competitveness: Indias export price is higher than nations like China and Kenya thus making it incompetent in the tea market. 2. Export incentives: earlier the tea sector used to get 5 benefit under VKGUY for bulk and value added teas which constitute 90 exports but this has been reduced to 3 under Merchandise exports from India scheme. 3. High pesticide allegation: high pesticide content allegations have been led by NGO-Greenpeace. Though baseless, it has affected Indias tea sector adversely. 4. Plantation labour act 1951: it has increased cost of tea production since tea planters need to ensure education, medical, canteen facilities for tea workers and their families. 5. Labour agitation: frequent labour strikes due to poor wages i. e. 20hr, has led to agitation. They work in unhealthy conditions, and benefits of PLA have been cornered by corrupt unions rather than the poor workers. 6. High mortality rate: Last year, many tea workers died due to starvation. This has evoked human rights issue and adversely affected Indias tea sector position in the export market. 7. Tea gestation period: good size of tea leaves euires atleast 5 year gestation period but unfortunately poor quality leaves have affected tea quality hampering its position in the market. 8. Changing food habits: Nowadays, people prefer juices and coffee over tea affecting the position of tea sector adversely. Thus though the prospects of indian tea sector remain bright due to el-nino in kenya. the challenges posed by the tea sector can severely limit the growth prospects of this sector. Thus some steps like rehabilitation of workers, govt overview in managemet-union PLA disbursal, increasing export incentives and improving marketing of tea sector through Served from India etc can help revive the sector to the glory of 1990s. Well written. Good structuring and I don8217t think u have left any point. Please review mine. Takk. 8211 The tea industry in India constitutes a major portion of the most India exports. But this industry is currently facing a lots of issues like - 1. Labour laws - Many labourers in tea plantation are on a contractual basis and are outside the purview of labour laws in India. Many cases has been cited in Assam tea plantation where workers from Bihar and UP were forced to work. Their documents ahs been seized and are bit allowed to leave the place or change the occupation. 2. Draught - Tea plants requires a lot of moisture to grow. But due to recent patterns of irregular monsoon and lack of proper irrigation facility. this industry has seen. A reduction in tea production. Israel is helping this regard with drip down irrigation facilities 3.Low cost competitors 8211 One of the reasons for reduction in India tea exports is because of low cost tea competitors such as East African countries. 4. Policies as hurdles 8211 The recent policies regarding this industry has been seen by many as hurdles for eg Plantation code. The recently announced Trade policy can also lead to further reduction of tea exports as it reduces the rate to 3 from 5 for bulk tea producers. 8211 The industry is in a dire need to revamp and relook. Indian government should make labour laws mire strict. The policies should also facilitate and not restrict the growth. improve intro8230.can include major problems like wages issue, population growth, urbanisation etc8230..answer is half prospects are not covered8230.keep writing8230nice try8230 pls check my answer Tea industry in India is one of the oldest industry which has been developed in some suitable agroclimatic regions of India. Tea plantations were promoted and developed by the Britishers for their revenue generation. Indian tea is highly praised globally. The aroma and taste of Indian tea is the speciality of the tea grown in Assam. Kenya is a close competitor for the Assam tea. India has tea plantations in Munnar, Kerala. Tea plantation needs a sloping ground and adequate rainfall which only certain regions possess. Nowadays it has been seen that there is some unrest among the labourers of Munnar. These labourers are exploited and hence they complaint regarding low wages and long working hours. They also demand 20 bonus. There are lots of negotiations going on between the plantation management and the labourers. Indian tea industry has also been shown in poor light by the NGO named Greenpeace. According to the report 8216Brewing Trouble8217 released by the Greenpeace, Indian tea leaves contains hazardous pesticides. Although the issue has been thoroughly investigated and the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India has declared it safe. India is among the very few countries gifted geographically condition to produce tea, coffee, spices etc. Recently the tea industry is facing problem in terms of: 1. Price: Globally the prices of commodities are facing new low due to prolonged recession in major market like Europe, USA, Japan this is impacting the profit margins in tea industry. 2. Produce: Low level of technology adaptation leading to huge wastage of resources. Indian tea is being tested to contain higher level of pesticide, insecticide by European countries, primary reason behind is unscientific application of chemicals. Increasing competition from other country like Sri Lanka, Kenya is bringing down Indian share in Global market. 3. Institutional constraints: Tea board of India works under Govt of India and is having huge bureaucratic constraints in working. This hinders the coming together of all stakeholders to push sector ahead. Prospect: 1. It is a highly labour intensive sector and availability of it is huge in India. 2. Geography, weather condition favors Indian climatic condition alot. 3. Diversification to other markets like China, offer new avenues for growth. 4. New scientific techniques in production, testing, marketing through ICT can overcome problems faced. 5. Tea board needed to be restructured to remove bureaucratic hegemony in decision making. 6. MSMEs are needed to be promoted in areas like Green Tea, Organic Tea which is growing in double digit since last few years. Recently labour problems brewed up in Munnar due to low bonus declaration and low wages. However, in case of low bonus, companies are saying that they have declared 10 as compared to 20 bonus declared last year because they the profits have reduced to 5 Cr against 20 Cr ast year. It seems that there is a trust deficit here but no contrary arguments regarding wages indicate that low wages ie Rs. 240- for 12 hrs a day is still an area of concern. Other issue that has struck the tea industry is findings of pesticides in them above permissible limits, as publicised by Greenpeace India, an NGO. However, as they have not made the reports public or shared with Home ministry due to their contractual obligation with the testing laboratory, the same finding holds no authenticity. Among above issues, a good news for the tea industry is that this year, due to El-Nino effect, production of tea in Kenya has suffered, which is a positive sign for Indias exports. The only hitch is reduced benefits from 5 to 3 on bulk teas, which accounts for 90 teas exports, due to its shift from Vishesh Krishi Gram Udyog Yojana to Merchandise Exports under FTP-2015. To solve the pesticide issue, tea board has already taken correcting steps which will further improve the quality and sales in the international markets. India is the worlds largest grower and producer of tea. Its significance lies in its huge international demand and being labour-intensive in nature. But recently, it has been facing some problems like - 1. Allegations - There have been allegations of being laced with excessive and banned pesticides by organisations like Greenpeace. This has hurt the sentiments of the buyers mainly demanding sustainable tea. 2. Labour Problems - There have been demands from tea plantation labours to increase their wages. This would affect the competitiveness of Indian tea in international markets. Schemes like MGNREGA have also contributed in the increase in farm wages. 3. Unsustainable water usage - Originally indigenous to Eastern and Northern parts of the country having enough water, it has expanded to relatively drier regions of the south as well. This has put a lot of pressure on hydrological balance. With climate change and erratic rainfalls very common, this could increase the pressure. 4. Reduction in benefits to the bulk tea in Indias Foreign Trade Policy. The prospects of Indian tea industry are very bright especially with declining production from Kenya, high credibility due to adherence of the stringent standards codified as Plant Protection Codes highlighting the type and amount of chemicals. But, an independent certification programme would further enhance the credibility of Indian tea. India is one of the largest producers of tea in the world but still the industry faces some problems like: 1)Reduced domestic demand due to growing preference for soft drinks 2)Competition with countries like China, Sri Lanka and Kenya 3)Indias limited capabilities in orthodox tea which are preferred in Russia, a 200 million Kg market 4)Laborers demands for regularization of working hours, increasing the salaries and bonuses 5)Reports of findings of pesticides in Indian teas as revealed in Trouble Brewing released by Greenpeace 6)Slower pace of replantation 7)Exclusion of small tea growers from centrally sponsored schemes 8)Merchandise Exports from India Scheme has reduced the benefits to 3 on bulk teas Despite these challenges, the future seems to be bright for the Indian tea industry because of the following reasons: 1)Plant Protection Code, a document that will regularize the use of pesticides has been put under practice 2)Assam has the potential to become second state after Kenya t o produce health-rich purple tea 3)Schemes have been launched by Tea Board to ensure welfare of small tea growers 4)Media campaigns have been launched to promote Brand India 5)Kenya has been hit by droughts In wake of all such developments, India should make sure that she utilizes the bright opportunities provided to regain her image as a major tea exporter. Good one Batman. You got the important points. Well structured too (As Always). I think first part needs a bit of examine flavour. Kenya point can be refined or any other long-tern oriented point can be placed . Over all, Knowledgeable answer. yeah u are right. Drought in Kenya has just opened a window of opportunity which might be closed by next year. India should look for more avenues in order to establish a strong hold over tea market, perhaps 8216brand India8217 can be the answer to that. covered almost all relevant points under 8216problems8217 and 8216prospects8217. but when it comes to address 8216critically examine8217 part of the question, I think the other side of the matter should also be mentioned. eg the issue of pesticide is yet to be confirmed. because our minister says it is a propaganda to hurt the industry. do you think it should be defended as the industry says our tea is well accepted globally and safe to consume this is just a doubt. correct me if i am wrong and please let me know is it ok if we enumerate the points like this when the question demands to examine critically. still you covered everything relevant in your writing. thank you for sharing the answer and keep writing. It is the sheer exaggeration of Greenpeace report that govt is apprehensive about point noted. thanks for replying Sanchay. i don8217t want to put the burden on insights but for this particular question, i don8217t think there was need to examine critically. we are also being asked to critically examine the causes which is not possible in any case. second thing, the problem themselves are a deterrent to the growth of this industry, so i think they don8217t need any separate mention. i am not an expert too but u should from more number of people to clear your doubts. thanks for your feedback, keep reviewing batman covered good points823082308230.yo can add tea tourism too for future prospects82308230..nice keep writ.. pls check my answer freind also added some pt. realativily poor educated and less skill laburer are working which give less productivity climate change are also adversily affected on tea cultivation by uncirtain wether condition.. Tea was brought in India as part of the colonial package of rail connectivity, managed estates and government support for the British growers to successfully export it. Since then, the methodology of picking tea and managing estates hasn8217t changed much. The result is that over 3.5 lakh workers often have to live a hard, gruelling life just so that the estate can keep on producing profitably. Tea which once used to be the national drink is being challenged by the pleothora of market options. Inspite of its evolution into the healthy brands like green, white tea, it seems unlikely that it would be able to maintain its current user base. Further, the plight of the workers has lead to global scrutiny and estates might have to upgrade their methodology to pay their workers more. New types of planting and growing strategies would be required against the climate change effects and to grow more crops per season. The majority of the tea is produced by smaller farmers who can8217t take full benefit of central schemes and aren8217t usually part of the trustea campaign of the major MNCs to promote healthy growing practices and certification. The organisation of farmers cooperatives would have to be catalysed, along with ensuring that their farming methods are in sync with global best practices. Government has already launched schemes for welfare of small farmers and the market penetration can be increased by producing the newer varieties of organic tea, green tea etc. The media campaign for make in India is likely to increase demand of indian teas as well. Assam has latent production capability that can be utilised and the use of ICT is promising. New entrepreneurial startups which send personalised chocie of tea to individual user from tea estates, shortening the cycle and removing the middle men have increased new avenues which just might be what was needed at the moment. Being the second largest exporter of the tea, India is earning the large chunk of foreign exchange and providing the employment opportunities to many. But in recent time it has been oscillating itself between the problems and the prospects. 1. High production cost and low production are cause of concern for producers. 2. Unrest in the middle east impacting the Tea export to that nations. 3. Low per capita consumption of tea in India and youth attraction towards other beverage consumption is effecting the Tea consumption. 4. Reduction of the concessions to the Tea industry in recent FTP would have effect the Tea export competitiveness. 5. Negative publicity by some players about Indian tea having the higher dose of pesticides may hinder the prospects. 6. Being labour intensive industry had been frequently hit by the strike of the labour. Monsoon dependency and matured bushes also cause of worry. 1. Diversifying the export avenues would give impetus to Indian Tea. 2. Implementing Plant Promotion Code by Tea Board would ally the concerns of the consumers. 3. Domestic market should be tapped among the youth. 4. Raising health consciousness among the people should be exploited by increasing the production of the organic Tea. Indian tea has the good brand image at international level. So to maintain that image and to augment the production and export the comprehensive strategy should be adopted by the interesting parties. Well presented. All imp points covered. Keep writing. Keep reviewing. Britishers brought this plantation to India and has become one of the major agricultural economic entity since then for India. But journey of tea plantation in India has never been smooth and faced alot of problems. Current problems of tea industry: - gt Labour exploitation: Been there since British rule and even now they are compelled to work for 12 hours a day with small incentive - gt Stagnant and pesticides: As production of tea has become stagnant, there are issues of overuse of fertilizers - gt Tough competition:Countries like Kenya, Brazil, China are producing tough competition to our products - gt Monsoon dependence: Most of the plantation are on hilly slope areas and thus its not possible to have any alternate irrigation - gt Unfavorable Foreign Trade Policy: Export concessions have been reduced from 5 to 3 which has affected alot - gt Low technology implementation, less connectivity and food processing industries in north eastern states Prospects: - gt Geographical Indicators (GIs): India has joined for protection of GIs under TRIPS in year 2015 which will also help them protecting and providing fame to our traditional GIs like Darjelling tea, Assam tea etc. - gt If north eastern states are gi ven required infrastructure, tea can be proved to be major constituent in state8217s agronomic - gt With increase in population, domestic consumption is in sync with interests of tea industry - gt New avenues in central Asia and Georgia and international connectivity like INSTC and Kaladan multimodal transit system can be beneficial to tea trade - gt R amp D in tea sector and diversification of tea product range can contribute alot to increase in value of product and can bring more dollars India is expected to continue as one of the leader in tea industry but she should also resolve issues to maintain longevity. Tea is a very importan cash crop in India. It has high demand in international market and major foreign revenue earner. Problems with tea industry: 1) Agriculture practices are under question after the recent Green Peace report. predicting the presence of residue of hazardous pesticides. As most of the export destinations has high food safety standards, It may threat the trade perspective. 2) Presently among 1.5 lakhs tea estates only 20000 are in organised sector. Hence most of the plantation labours are in the unorganised sector. Frequent conflict between labours and owners causes low production. 3) Resent FTP has reduced export concessions from 5 to 3. 4) Low international demand due to conflict in middle east. 5) More demand for OrganicGreen tea, which production is low in India. 6) Low technological implant and ageing tea bushes causing low production. 1) To address the safety concern Tea Board has issued Plant Protection Code, 8220Trustea8221 code to ensure trust in foreign markets. 2) It should also try to reach new markets in central asia and Russia to diversify export. 3) Tea is largely produced in economically backward N-E region. Hence there is huge potential of packaging and processing industry, which can change the socio-economic condition of the local people. 4) Produce more organic tea. It is environment friendly and will earn more revenue. Sanchay8230.can8217t resist from taking 2-3 points from u8230. British introduced Tea cultivation in India. Now, Tea is cultivated mainly in Assam, North Bengal, TN, Karnataka. Indian Tea Industry faces various problems : - Ageing Tea bushes. Tea bushes have a threshold limit of 50 years, However at least 40 have already crossed and another 10 are on the verge. The quality of tea leaves deteriorates after bushes cross the threshold Limit. - Less Land availability. Plantations are not able to increase acreage of Tea plantation due to stringent Land Acquisition Laws. - Human Right Abuses: Tea workers are over exploited e. g They work more than 12 hours per day for Rs 240, some reports claim around 120 which is far less than the min. wage limit of Assam. To use Chemicals. they are not given protective equipments and even if given, those are not replaced regularly. The living conditions are wretched with no facilities of sanitation in many estates Evidence of Child Labour and Malnutrition also exist. - High Costs: Low productivity, Remote locations of plantations, Poor roads and Infrastructure and High Social Burden due to labour intensive work increases the incurred costs of Tea industry. - International Competition. Faces stiff competition from China (Huge Land availability), Srilanka (Round the year production), Kenya (Very low cost of production). Also Less Trade incentives in Trade policy 2015-2020. However, There are also good signs for the future : - Health benefits. Awareness about the Health benefits of Tea is increasing e. g Presence of Anti oxidants. This will keep the demand growing. - Increase in Demand. There has been an increase in demand locally (due to increasing population and level of income) and internationally (Iran. CIS countries and Europe). - Plant Plantation Code (PPC): Updating the safety and quality norms of PPC as per international Food standards and guidelines will ensure the quality is maintained. Also regular monitoring by Tea Board of India. - Funding Support from States. To improve infrastructure and To provide financial support to Tea workers, State Govt and Central Govt have been providing funds to Estates regularly e. g Recent case of WB funding. India although being the 2nd largest producer in tea is gradually losing its shares in the world market, due to various constraints of an industry that is also major employment generator. Problems encountering the tea industry and measures to enhance its future prospects : 1. Structural constraints. A legacy of the pioneers of the industry in India, the East India Company, the various labour laws enacted at that time is failing to hold up in present economic scenario in the form of the Plantation Labour Act, 1951 and its recommendations have failed to satisfy both the workers, demanding better pay and the plantation owners, citing increased burden of social costs the Act entails. Implications: Unrest through strikes and parallel growth of an informalisation of workforce that will eventually hamper the production output and quality. Reforms: Sharing of social costs between government and plantation owners as suggested by a committee in 2007. Diversification of market to include high end varieties that would increase remuneration and offset higher production costs. 2. Climatic constraints: Unpredictable monsoon problems magnified by lack of technological growth in irrigation facilities, unscientific production and use of fertilisers. Implications: Price fluctuations that will decrease reliability of income, lower quality and increase stress in existing bushes, less optimisation of input costs. Reforms: Continued collaboration with countries for improvement in technological front like recent engagement with Israel on water management through micro, drip irrigation. Increase scientific awareness among tea growers. 3. Quality Issues: To protect its brand name in the world, increase vigilance in quality to fend of accusations from any quarters. Reforms. Implementation of the Plant Protection Code diligently. Also go the organic way in some amount that will capture the new health conscious crowd willing to pay premium price. 4. Promote Tea TourismImage: India is also one of the largest consumer of tea. But young crowd moving towards other beverages. Implications: When faced with global slowdown of consumption due to various reasons, Indian market would fail to sustain consumption. Steps to be taken. Today young crowd sways with brand name. Target this vulnerable crowd with positive reinforcements through publicity and creating a brand name in sync with the trend of the market of the day. Tea industry is one of the important export oriented industries in India. However, in recent times, the industry is facing certain problems, which are: 1) With the reduction in the benefits in the foreign trade policy from 5 to 3, the competitiveness of the industry might be lost. 2) Tea industry involves the management of big farms and estates. As such, the management costs and operations costs are very high. Moreover, the industry regularly faces labor issues, which further hampers its operations. 3) In some of the reports it has been pointed out that the industry is using too much pesticides. As such, it becomes difficult for the industry to sustain its export potential. Further, the compliance cost of application of fertilizers as per international standard is very high. 4) Tea industry is largely dependent upon the climatic factors. Issues of climate change, deforestation, etc. are detrimental to the growth of tea industry. However, the tea industry is also important in many spheres and has many prospects, such as: 1) Tea industry is one of the important industries to promote inclusive growth, especially in the field of women empowerment. 2) With the drought conditions persisting in Kenya, the demand for Indian tea is set to rise. This would be further aided by the fact that the price of Indian tea is much less than that of Kenya8217s. Tea industry in India is important not only from point of view of providing livelihood to about 3.5 million people but also as source of earning Foreign exchange. The sector presents both issues to be solved and oppurtunity to enhance its significance : 1. Sustainable Practice: In light of awareness among bot domestic and international customers of having healthy tea products, Tea Board has taken various steps to address this issue. It has set up Trustee Tea Board to help planters adopt quality methods of production. Given that vast majority of tea planters are from small and unorganised sector, the success of the programme depends on covering them. 2. Labour issues: Recent agitations related to long working hours. social benefits and other concerns have made it necessary to come up with clear guidelines to address the issue. An inclusive Trade Union can also help in this regard. 3. Policy Support: Through Foreign Trade policy 2015, MEIS offers 3 on export of bulk Tea which is major component of export. Earlier this was 5 hence lowering it will affect competiteveness. Prospects: 1. Major Export Player:Currently India is 4th largest exporter of tea. Given, issues in African countries like Kenya, Ind can fill in that gap given its price competitiveness. 2. New Markets: Currently India8217s exports of tea are to countries of Europe, South America and Asia as well. Strengthening and Exploring new markets will give a boost to the industry. Given the importance of Tea Industry, right govt intervention through policy support and encouraging sustainable production would go a long way in strengthening this sector. India has enjoyed the status of one of the largest exporter of tea for quite some time now. Geographical advantages and labour availability has kept this industry thriving for over a century now. Being the second largest employer in the country this sector has enjoyed the attention of the government also. But all is not well with the Indian tea industry lately. Indian tea is quite a sought after product in the global market due to its quality and competitiveness. But the recent tea export decline has been a cause of worry for the industry. According to the new Foreign trade policy the Duty Credit Scrip has been revised down from 5 to 3 which the representatives of the Indian Tea Association has sought to revise in order to keep Indian tea price competitive. Recent labour issues in Munnar tea plantations is also a cause of concern. The workers complain of long 12 hour working shifts with a meagre salary of Rs.240day. The trade unions seem to have lost the confidence of the workers who don8217t see their concerns being addressed by the union anymore. Subsequently at least 10,000 women workers have resorted to strike until their demand of annual bonus is met, which they claim should be 20 for this year. In a rather small set back to the industry8217s image the NGO Greenpeace alleged Indian tea products to be having hazardous pesticides. Such negative publicity dents the image of the brand. Although Tea board has refuted the charges levied by the NGO it should serve us as a lesson to abide by national and international quality controls measures. Apart from these issues Indian tea sector has been suffering from the problem of credit availability domestically and competition from other countries in the world market. But, recent drop in tea export from Kenya due to low rainfall provides India with an opportunity to increase its foot hold in the global market with its products. At the same time the new trade policy has recognized new markets globally like China, Kazakhastan where we can pitch our tea. Assam orthodox tea is set to receive the Geographical Indication exclusivity which should help us brand our product internationally better. Darjeeling and Assam tea have enjoyed recognition due to their superior quality. Our efforts should direct us towards better branding of indigenous tea products taking the recent shortfall in production in the global market and increase in global demand to our advantage. Implementation of Plant protection code will assuage the concerns regarding pesticides and other quality measures. At the same time labour issues should be addressed by assuring minimum wages and limiting working hours. Our focus should be more now to increase the productivity by making credit available to the producers and making new inroads in the international markets in the coming years to be able to channel our product. A mix of economic and policy measures are to be taken for this to be achieved as early as possible since this won8217t just increase our trade performances but also provide employment at home, specially in the NE. Indian tea had been originally inherited from the Chinese and was under the colonial supervision for decades whose export had a major hand in filling the British coffers. Today, India is the largest consumer. second largest producer and fourth largest exporter of tea. This sector is spread over 15000 tea estates producing around 1.2 billion kg of tea annually in the country. According to ASSOCHAM. the total turnover of this sector is expected to cross 35k cr by the end of 2015. The tea industry is growing with an annual rate of more than 15 with Assam tea producing 12 of the annual global tea yeilds. India is the largest exporter of black tea in the world due to its medicinal properties. But lately this sector has witnessed a downfall according to the Tea Board of India Exports have declined to 27.4million kgs in 2014.This can be due to 8211 - Economic Reasons : The Foreign Trade Policy 2015-20 and the Merchandise Exports from India Scheme has reduced the benefit of bulk exporting from 5 to 3. Also. the meager pay for the plantation workers has resulted in many dropouts. - Environmental Reasons : The rise in the river beds as an impact of the climate change has resulted in heavy siltation thus affecting drainage. This damages the tea bushes due to water logging and augments vulnerability of the tea estates . The tea industry adds a significant portion to the country8217s revenue and steps should be taken to thwart it from further downfall. The govt can take a cue from large producers like McLeod by devising models which integrate the small tea farmers who are solely responsible for increasing plantation acreages. In order to counter the impacts of climate change. the NICRA should be implemented more holistically which increases crop resilience against untoward climatic variability. PMKVY can be extended to the tea planters which will not only provide an impetus to the laborers but also to the tea industry as well. Commerical tea plantations were introduced by British to counter Chinese monopoly and today, we are one of the largest producer and consumer of tea. However, there are certaim issues with the industry: 1. Reports of pesticides, chemicals found in the tea leaves of reputed tea varieties. If found so to be scietifically, member nations of WTO can ban our exports under Sanitaty and Phytosanitary clause. 2. Tough competition from other tea growing nations like Sri Lanka and Kenya as they price lower. 3. Doemstic consumption not keeping pace with supply of tea in tjr market. This is also caused by shifting preferences to coffee, a com plementary drink preferred by the more urban class. 4. Issues of labour union on plantations and their social security. 5. Exports of tea from India are not diversified and untapped markets exist in Eurasia. But depsite these issues the prospects look bright as: A. Darjeeling and Assam tea varieties are famous due to high potash, phosphorous content of their soil and Darjeeling tea is to receive Geogrpahical Indicator tag. B. This industry reuqires skill and patient workforce and has ahuge potential for women workforce in all stages. C. Steps are afoot to capture markets overseas. D. Slack in production of tea in Kenya due to El Nino. E. Increasing preference of Green Tea as a health drink and awareness about good anti-oxidants therein. Thus, tea industry should be promoted as it has potential for women empowerementm specialy, in the North East. Governmnet can accomodate genuine demands of labour force amd constitute a technical committee to evaluate issue of pesticides in tea products. Also, we can have only Tea Board certified products for exports. Tea plantation has been introduced by britishers in india. though its a important cash crop of india. its facing the following challenges :- 1. sluggish demand in world market and low yield. 2. competing with countries who are offering lower price. 3. Quality issues such as recently green peace india alleged for it having pesticides 4. India govt foreign policy which offered 5 benefit on bulk has reduced it 3 made it less competent in world market. 5. unrest in middle east has lowered its demand. 6. Strife between tea plantation workers. bonus issue and strikes in tea plantation. but despite these issues it has the following advantages 1.Due to el nino supply in few African countries has decreased. it can be use as gain. 2. india has bright prospects in expanding 8220organic tea8221 that8217s is in demand now a days worldwide. 3 india has ventured in to new markets like china, kajakstan Russia etc. 4. india can go for cerification with world reputed org and can over come the quality issues. Recently Travancore tea farmers has certified by it. 5. india has a huge and cheap labour market, its internal demand is also increasing. india is the 4th largest tea exporter in world employing large workforce so both govt. and tea board should come forward and focus on these issues it has very bright chance to enhance its yield n quality of tea. India is a leading producer of tea in the world. A large part of it is consumed domestically and some are exported. The Indian tea industry is facing a crisis, The problems faced by it include: 1. Competition with other tea producing countries like China, Sri Lanka and Kenya. Tea from these countries are cheaper when compared to Indian tea, so many of our export markets and domestic industry i flooded by cheaper tea from these countries. 2. Rising cost of inputs like fertilizers and pesticides. poor supply chain reducing profitability and increasing cost. 3. Decreasing yield due to deteriorating soil and climate change. 4. Chemical residue is high in Indian tea, affecting export quality. Further, consumers are more keen to have organic products decreaing demand for Indian tea. 5. Competition with other beverages like coffee and soft drinks. 6. Labour problems - strikes demanding for better wage and living conditions In spite of these issues, tea has a fairly good prospect. The value of tea for good helth is being felt more widely. They contain anti oxidants that can slow down aging. To improve the prospects of tea, a host of measures are to be taken: 1. Move to organic farming 2. Popularise health benefits f tea 3. Aim for new markets abroad 4. Make innovative products like flavoured tea 5. Better marketing and brand building 6. Address supply chain inefficiency and tke measures to reduce input cost The industry must enhance its capabilities to compete better in global trade and improve its prospect. India is the second largest producer and exporter of the Tea after China also the largest consumer of the world. Problems of the Tea industry:- Tea industry is facing stiff competition in global market mainly from Sri lanka and Kenya which are competitively priced as compared to India which makes it uncompetitive. Dependence on alterations of weather, high cost of production, fluctuations in quality, labour intensiveness and long gestation period. Labour Shortage:- Labour cost is quite high since hand picking of tea is quite labour intensive Although Govt of India has allowed 100 FDI in Tea plantation. no FDI has flowed in to this sector showing the low financial strength of the industry Indian tea is demanded in almost every tea drinking country of the world and major importers include UAE, UK and Polland Employment Generation:- The industry is giving employment to the nearly 1 of population directly and about 10 people indirectly according to International Journal of Agricultural Science. Organic Tea:- Popularity of organic Tea can help to compete in International market Tea Tourism:- The famous tea producing areas like Darjeeling, Upper Assam, Cachar, Nilgiri, etc. could be promoted for tea tourism. This will help in pumping up revenue as well as building up their own Brand Technological improvement and optimum utilisation of factors of production are necessary. Govt. can rationalise duties and taxes on machineries for the growth of Tea industry India is the second largest tea producer in the world but the largest consumer. After being top producer for a century or so is on the path of losing its sheen because of many factors - 1) Foreign trade policy 2015-2020 has reduced the benefit of bulk exporting from 5 to 3. 2) Tea board of india (TBI) though regarded as industry regulator didn8217t have clear defined powers. 3) Small Tea Growers(STG) not getting fair price deal as they donot have factories to make their tea they sell their green tea to Bought Leaf Factories (BLF). 4) standing water and direct sunlight inhibit tea production hence only terrace farming and since 8220shade lover8221 grown with other plants like rose. Since India inherited climate soothing for tea growth especially eastern region and cheap labor make it a very suited vital industry for india. Its growth has direct repercussions on North east states economy and helping them in keeping in mainstream. thus a critical look towards tea industry is need of the hour. the New Marketing Control Order and changes to TEA ACT, 1953 are steps in offing which can shape the growth prospects of tea industry India is one of the largest exporters of tea in the world. Indian tea cooamds respect all over the world. However, recently Indian tea Industry has come to face a lot of problems like : 1. Labour agitations and impasse. Labour agitations have sprung up recently in some areas like munnar, where labourers feel that they are being made to toil for long for very less wages. Labourers have also complained that they are being denied basic amenities. Since. Tea industry is a labour intensive industry, any issues in labour supply badly impacts tea industry. 2. NGO 8211 Govt Tussle 8211 Various NGOs. like greenpeace. have reported of harmful pesticides in Indian Tea, while govt had denied any such claims and accused NGOs of intentionally hampering Indian tea industry image. Any such rumors definitely impacts the exports from the country. 3. Speculations over monsoons. Monsoonal speculations also create fear in the minds of plantation owners since tea is heavily dependent on monsoon. Though, monsoons have not been bad. but speculations somehow effect the industry. India has extensive labour. both men and women, available for tea industry. Hence, once the impasse resolves, Indian tea industry should soon hope to be back on track. Govt. has also reacted strongly against such false and biased allegations by NGOs, hence this shouldnt be a big trouble in the long run. Monsoons too had been good. Moreover, Kenya, one of the biggest exporters of tea, has recently seen a drought, which had risen prices, indirectly helping Indian tea industry. Thus. though there are some problems in the shorty run, the prospects are also bright in the long run. India is one of the biggest producer, consumer and exporter of tea in the world. Of late, the Industry has suffered from the following problems. 8211Tea plantation, started in British India has low wages and high labour requirements which make people to opt for other occupations. 8211The govt. policy benefits under the Merchandize Export policy of the new Foreign Trade Policy has reduced the benefits for it and also the export advantage. 8211The increasing reports of Pesticide content in Indian Tea has made people wary of consuming it. 8212-Kenyas drought due to El-Nino effect has increased Tea prices in the International market and India can take advantage of it. 8211There can be significant increase in the exports to markets of Kazakastan, Russia, China, The US, Chile etc. 8211The high demand of Organic Tea can be met by India in the future given its large area of favorable climate. 8212-The Industry has been a source of Employment for millions of Indians and provides and will continue to provide sustainable Employment for years to come. The tea industry is one of the oldest organized industries in India. Indian tea industry is second largest producer after china in world. Tea is consumed by a wide range of age groups in all levels of society. Darjeeling amp Assam of north eastern regions and Nilgiri of southern region are prominent tea growing regions of India. some of Problems of tea industy in India: 1. Labours works long hours in plantation amp they are demanding high wages amp bonus for sustaining the life. For example, recently many labourers are protesting for high wages in munnar tea plantation in kerala. 2. Population is increasing day by day which effect indirectly to tea production. To match the demand of food, Pressure on agricultural land will rise, and tea will have to compete with other more staple crops. For example, hectares of land was converted from tea to grow rubber, palm oil and fruit, cashew nuts etc. 3. Increasing urbanization leads to migration of rural workers to cities in search of better wages amp life. 4. Climate change is another major threat to tea production. Tea is a relatively delicate plant, sensitive to changes in temperature and rainfall, and is grown in regions particularly vulnerable to extreme weather events. In the past 60 years, for example, rainfall has fallen significantly in Assam, the main tea-growing region of India. 5. Tea companies fear of low profits with increased production cost 6. Coffee acting as a strong substitute to tea. 7. Global competation especially with major tea producing nations such as china, srilanka, turkey, Indonesia. Prospects of tea industry in India: 1. Focus has been made on critical issues such as wages, climate change, competation etc amp thus can improve tea sector. 2. Recent drought in Kenya lead loss in tea sector amp thus could hope of gain for Indian tea industry. 3. The big players are realising the challenges they face are complex and too big to tackle alone. Therefore tea companies to work together to improve the sector. some of the world8217s biggest tea companies are joined to combat challenges amp achieved already. 4. Major importers of Indian tea are Russia, UAE, United Kingdom and Poland but also can strengthen the tea sector by exploring new markets globally. 5. With the increasing awareness for maintaining the highest possible health standards, there is also a growing demand to produce a commodity that is free of any traces of pollutants and pesticides residues well below to the permissible limits. The tea producers must, therefore, look for appropriate strategies on all possible fronts. 6. The famous tea producing areas like Darjeeling, Upper Assam, Cachar, Nilgiri, etc. could be promoted for tea tourism. Tea tourism can also be considered as establishment of brand image in the consumers. noted your point on tea tourism. work on your word limits, express more-write less. Rest is fine, u can add some points from my answer too Tea comprises of a major export item today. It involves a large number of people in organised and unorganised sector. It has been in news due to labour situation and international criticism. Some of the issues that can be seen are as follows. 1. Pesticide issue Greenpeace has given a report focusing on the higher presence of pesticides. It has not revealed the name of the laboratory owing to its confidentiality clause. Indian Tea Board has refuted the claim but it has also come up with renewed guidelines. It has given the industry a thrust towards turining organic, Many Indian companies in organised sector have already inducted organic farming like Uniliver and Tata. This bodes well for unorganised sector as it will get the benifit of adopting it imitating bigger companies. The demand is also higher for organic tea. 2. Labour issues Munnar tea plantation has workers demanding higher bonus than previously given. The owners had provided 19 bonus baseed on higher profit. This was later dropped to 10 owing to lower profit. The worker are demanding 20 but have not involved trade unions. The workers also demand lower working hours which at times stretch to 12 hour on a mere pay of 252 rupees. Indian tea industry has to provide better coverage if it has to protect its production form recurrent strikes which has plagued it since pre independence. 3. International Demand Kenya being a staunch rival has been hit by El Nino 2 years back to back. It had higher production in the previous El Nijni which sent the prices falling. It had hurt the Indian exports. This year as its production slumps due to inadequate. it the right time to take advantage of the space. 4.Domestic Policy India has not included tea in the Videsh Krishi Vikas Yojna. It has also reduced the benifit given to the tea estates from 5 to 3 under Merchandise Export from India Scheme. The industry fear it may hurt their bottomline. The stress would increase. Plantation sector is a major employment generator. India will have to consider making it profitable and push unorganised sector towrds becoming organised. The sector still is lacking in modern practices and is heavily rain fed as the prospects of fall in 5 rain does not bode well. The solution has to be a judicious mix of Government push towards better working conditions for the worker and the growers themselves taking up organic farming where higher investment and higher long term revenue lies. Tea industry is one of the labour intensive industry and hence carry great employment generation capabilities. Problems: 1) Due to export orientation nature of the industry it faces international competition, which demand efficient practices to remain competitive. 2) Due to labour intensiveness, proper welfare of labour also become important. Sometimes higher wage, bonus demands jeopardize industry. 3) High dependence on right climatic factors, any climatic disruptions rack havoc on industry, recent downfall in production in kenya due to el nino is the recent case of this vulnerability. 4) Lack of efficient practices, low investments, fluctuating productions are some of the other problems. 5) Recent adverse foreign trade policy of India for tea sector, which has reduced benefits to sector. 1) Great potential to provide employment to large number of N-E population. 2) Due to declining production in kenya, Indian exporters might have competitive advantage as they can offer lower prices than kenya. 3) It provide us with the model of prosperous and efficient agriculture practices which may be replicated in other fields as well. 4) Their is a huge scope to further improve cropping area under tea cultivation and improve productiveness. The cash crop tea is major contributor to India agro economy, where India stands as 2th largest tea producer amp 4th largest exporter in the world. Tea plantation depends on moist climate all round the year, in India its majorly in the NE amp SW region, facing multiple problems in present days, listed as follows. 1. Fragile Foreign Trade Policy. 2. Inflation: Because of inflation, workers demand more wages, where as owner of industry not agreed due to loss, which turns into frequent protest. 3. Labour Union: Strike by workers supported by labour union, make industry shutdown multiple days even weeks, impacting production. 4. High production cost: Lack of advance technology amp infrastructure, make tea industry depends much on manual work, which increase base cost tea. 5. Dynamic rain pattern: Disaster like El-Nino, cyclone, earth quake put hard work of small scale tea industry in vain. 6. Trust Deficit: Tea industry influenced by economy, disaster amp many more 8230 so customer, workers amp foreign investor loosing trust. 7. NGO Activities: Foreign countries, through NGO, hurting India8217s tea industry by saying the leaves contain hazardous pesticides. f. eks Greenpeace. 8. High pesticide uses: India loosing international market as in present days people wants organic tea. With the change of test amp requirements in the International market, So India looking forward future success in following ways: 1. Field study for pesticide-free techniques initiated in Assam by Unilever. 2. Training programs by NGO to tea worker for improvement of tea plantation. 3. Plant protection code initiated by GoI for organic tea production. 4. Sustainable Plantation: Driving tea plantation, towards climate amp natural disaster. Having potential with India with high demand of tea from international, Govt need to provide proper platform with good infrastructure amp efficient policy at local amp trade level to recover tea industry from poverty stricken. excellent. frnd8230juz to add u cn add accessing new markets, cn mention abt plant protection code8230 Tea is one of the major-economy industry in India. India is the 4th largest one in the world exporting 200 million kg per year. Major buyers of Assam CTC are Russia, China, Kajkhsthan etc. Problems of Tea Industry: 1) Workers toil for 12 Hrs and being paid less i. e just Rs.240 by Munnar Tea plantations. This lead to fury in workers by agitating strikes against organisations. Management needs to address this problems at the earliest. 2) Greenpeace, NGO recently made claims that Indian Tea leaves are hazardous to health. It also claimed that 34 pesticides were found in 46 samples. But did not shared the forensic reports of those tests. This would create a havoc to tea exports. 3) Tea plantations mainly dependant on Monsoons. Timely monsoons will lead to more productivity. Last year, crop production fall by 10 due to 12 decline in rainfall. Hence proper irrigation facities needs to be developed to overcome this problem. Prospects of Tea Industry: 1) Kenya is the biggest competitor to India in Tea exports. This year in Kenya due to droughts, tea production has declined that lead increase in price of Tea i. e 3-4 per kg. This is the 2nd hit of El Nino in Kenya. So it blooms to Indian Tea exports whose prices at 3-3.5 per kg 2) Organic farming also going to be practised in Tea-estates for sustainable development. Hindustan Unilever has made some progress on this. 3) Biggest industries like Tata Global Beverages, Hindustan Unilever and small industries like Travancore Tea Farmers8217s society get the Rainforest Alliance and Trustea certifications. Trustea code evaluates socio-economic, agronomic and environmental performance of tea plantations in India. India, one of the top producers and exporters of tea in the world, has been facing some challenges in recent times. These problems, if not tackled timely and effectively, can hamper the good prospects Indian tea industry holds. The lack of innovation in tea plant and the agricultural practices( e. g. slower pace of replantation) accompanying it has stagnated the leaf quality and output for many years now. This, in face of rising input prices, is making tree farming less profitable. Compounding the fact that a large share of tea production comes from small, independent farmers, who will find tea production unsustainable. Various tariff and non-tariff barriers by many importing countries, like the recent phyto-sanitary related objection raised by the EU, is hampering exports. Competition from emerging and established tea producing countries like Kenya, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and China. Trade Policy related: The FTP 2015, which reduced exports concessions to tea from 5 to 3. This affects competitiveness. The tea farms in India are also often hit by strikes and labour unrest. A part of the blame for such incidents also lies with unprofessional management practices of the owners. Many areas known for tea gardens, like Assam and the Darjeeling hills, suffer from insurgency, social unrest and extortion. This scares away fresh investment and fresh capital. Tea is the largest consumed non-alcoholic beverage, after water and one of Indias top agricultural exports. Thus the potential is huge. Indian tea, its quality and aroma, has its own distinct presence. This needs to be leveraged. Huge potential in hitherto untapped markets like Central Asia and Latin America. The Tea Board has been recently taking steps to mitigate any quality concerns of the importing countries. The large young population within the country, if educated about the many herbal qualities of the tea can be tapped for growth. Recent impetus to the food processing in India also holds many promises as it will lead to diversification of products and improved supply chain infrastructure. All in all, India sits at the crossroad. If effective tackled the challenges will lead to a state of sustainable profit for the tea industry of India.
