Abstract

Dealing with the crisis in the India’s tea plantation sector in terms of falling prices following the trade reforms since 1991, this chapter examines the impacts of trade reforms on the sector and discusses major challenges which might affect the sustainability and competitiveness of the industry in the emerging context of global market integration along with India’s increased engagement in bilateral and multi-lateral trade agreements. The need for policy and institutional interventions has been underscored to tackle structural imperfections and market uncertainties affecting the Indian tea sector; an important policy mechanism is to promote value-adding processing of tea so that the stake of the small tea producers is enhanced by strengthening their capabilities through provision of state-of-the-art tea processing technology.
