  • (IGG/Tea) the Twenty-Third Session of the Intergovernmental Group
    The Twenty-third Session of the Intergovernmental Group on Tea (IGG/Tea) The Twenty-third Session of the Intergovernmental Group on Tea (IGG/Tea) was held from 17 to 20 May 2018 in Hangzhou, People’s Republic of China (PRC). The IGG/Tea meeting was attended by more than 100 delegates from 19 member countries and observers from five organizations1. The session was formally inaugurated by Mr. Qu Dongyu, Deputy Minister, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the PRC. Mr. Wang Hong, Vice Mayor, Hangzhou Municipal Government, also delivered welcoming remarks showing a high level support from the host country. The Meeting elected Mr. Jianyun Ruan (China) as Chairperson, Mr. Ramaz O. Chanturiya (Russian Federation) as First Vice-Chairperson and Mr. Prabhat Bezboruah (India), as Second Vice Chairperson. The Group reviewed the current market situation and medium-term outlook to 2027 supported by detailed insights on market developments at country level. Discussions highlighted the need to continue supporting tea consumption and stressed the importance of generic promotion in increasing demand. The need to set up an international tea day was identified as an important action towards enhancing people’s knowledge of tea and sustaining consumption. The Group examined possible strategies and challenges on developing futures and swap markets for tea noting that price volatility is one of the major challenges affecting the sub-sector. The IGG decided therefore to revive the Working Group on futures and swap markets in order to support members’ move towards such institutional arrangements. Through the round table on “sustainability and certification schemes in the tea industry”, the Group identified challenges including duplication and multiplicity of certification schemes, high compliance and transaction cost for farmers, especially smallholders, low inclusiveness of the standards development process and weak price transmission.

    NON-JUDICIAL REDRESS MECHANISMS REPORT SERIES 6 Human Rights Grievance-Handling in the Indian Tea Sector Dr Kate Macdonald university of Melbourne Dr samantha balaton-Chrimes DeaKin university About this report series this report is part of a series produced by the non-Judicial Human rights redress Mechanisms Project, which draws on the findings of five years of research. the findings are based on over 587 interviews, with 1,100 individuals, across the countries and case studies covered by the research. non- judicial redress mechanisms are mandated to receive complaints and mediate grievances, but are not empowered to produce legally binding adjudications. the focus of the project is on analysing the effectiveness of these mechanisms in responding to alleged human rights violations associated with transnational business activity. the series presents lessons and recommendations regarding ways that: • non-judicial mechanisms can provide redress and justice to vulnerable communities and workers • non-government organisations and worker representatives can more effectively utilise the mechanisms to provide support for and represent vulnerable communities and workers • redress mechanisms can contribute to long-term and sustainable respect and remedy of human rights by businesses throughout their operations, supply chains and other business re - lationships. the non-Judicial Human rights redress Mechanisms Project is an academic research collaboration between the university of Melbourne, Monash university, the university of newcastle, rMit university, Deakin university and the university of essex. the project was funded by the australian research Council with support provided by a number of non-government organisations, including Core Coalition uK, HomeWorkers Worldwide, oxfam australia and actionaid australia.
