  • Comparative Analysis of Existing Models of Small Tea Growers in Tea Value Chain in the Nilgiris
    NRPPD Discussion Paper 20 COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF EXISTING MODELS OF SMALL TEA GROWERS IN TEA VALUE CHAIN IN THE NILGIRIS Pallavi Mansingh Liby T. Johnson 2012 COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF EXISTING MODELS OF SMALL TEA GROWERS IN TEA VALUE CHAIN IN THE NILGIRIS Pallavi Mansingh Liby T. Johnson 2012 4 ABSTRACT The tea value chain is structured along a hierarchical relationship with the global buyers dictating terms to the producers. An inherently asymmetric balance of power relation increases the vulnerabilities of the producers. At the same time the small producers in this value chain are not merely passive recipients but dynamic actors who are constantly engaging with the value chain. This study looks at how the major shifts in the global tea industry have impacted upon the men and women who constitute the periphery of this value chain and how they in turn have asserted their space in the value chain. Through the case of the small tea growers of Nilgiris, this paper locates small tea growers in the global tea value chain and examines the relational construct within the tea value chain and explores how the territorial and regional specificities and institutions mark the contours of the value chain. This is done through a comparative study of existing models of small tea growers’ collectives in the Nilgiris. The paper points at the lack of any governmental arrangement that addresses the concerns of the STGs, though the proposed Tea Directorate can potentially benefit the STGs through more focussed implementation of schemes and increased transperancies. 5 I. Introduction Various models of collectives of STGs exist in the Nilgiris – INDCO Co-operative, Self Help Groups (SHG), TANTEA Estates and Primary Producer Societies (PPS)s.

Introduction Tamil Nadu has a long and ancient tradition in small scale manufacturing. Excavations in Keeladi near Madurai have yielded evidence of textile manufacturing and sophisticated pottery in that area 2,600 years ago. Sangam Literature also mentions that the cotton clothes made in this region were of exquisite quality. Metal works, carpentry, ship building, salt making and making of ornaments were also very widespread in this area. The products of ancient Tamil Nadu were in great demand in Greece and Rome. Following the industrial revolution, the transition to modern factory based production was seen in this area from the second half of the 19 th century. Early modernised industries emerged in sectors like leather, textiles and sugar. During the British period, Madras Presidency also witnessed one of the earliest attempts by the Government to directly promote local industrialization. The Department of Industries came into existence in August, 1906, the first of its kind in British India. The State Aid to Industries Act was passed in 1923 by the Madras Legislative Council and this law allowed Government assistance to cottage and village Industries.
