Economic Crisis en Tea Industry
Description
Le rising cost de production et falling prices, under le pressure de global oversupply de tea against a depressed demand, caused an economic crisis de unprecedented proportions en le first decade de le 21st century. Under severe financial stress, some tea garden owners abandoned their tea plantations et several major tea corporates hived off le loss making tea production operations. Many tea-growing units were closed down, adversely affecting socioeconomic conditions de le stakeholders, particularly smallholder growers et workers. Le 39 chapters en this book analyze le impact de le economic crisis et discuss le methods de managing le cost-price squeeze. Strategies are suggested to reduce le costs en field et factory. Knowledge de tea chemistry has been employed to define le tea quality et to improve it, increase price realization et enhance earnings by taking to value added products from tea. Chapters sur health effects de tea provide Information to identify le bioactive molecules et their mode de action pour high value pharmaceutical et industrial products. Un section sur informatics shows le way to share knowledge between scientists across le language barrier et transfer de technology from scientists to le ultimate users. This book is le 3rd de le series en Mondial Progrès en Tea Science, which was started avec a 1000 page, 64 chapter compendium. Book 2 was a monograph Protective Effects de Tea sur Human Health, published en October 2006 by CABI, London. Le book 3 Economic Crisis en Tea Industry: Strategies de Scientifique Gestion would sensitize le students de tea science to le ground realities de economics pour operating a sustainable enterprise de tea growing. It provides useful leads to le tea scientists en various disciplines about le future needs de scientific research to make tea growing a viable activity. It helps le practicing tea manager to access alternative technologies to cut costs et pour improving le product earnings to raise profitability de le unit. It is designed to serve as a guide to le captains de le tea industry et to le policy makers to formulate sound economic policies pour long term health de le tea industry et to prevent/reduce le recurrence de such economic disasters.
