Abstract:

Tea is a common plantation commodity cultivated by the community and developed by Tasikmalaya government.According to Tasikmalaya regency regional planning, tea has been established as one of commodities at but it doesn’t have further policy dvelopment. The aims of this study are (1) to identify smallholdertea plantation; (2) to analyze land suitability and to identify potential development areas for tea crop; (3) to analyze the feasibility of tea farming; (4) to determine policy development of smallholdertea plantation. Satellite image interpretation was used toidentify smallholdertea plantation. A method of matching criteria was used to analyze land suitability for tea crop and the potential development areas weredetermined by using descriptive analytic. SWOT analysis was used to determine the policy development of smallholdertea plantation. The results showed that tea smallholder plantation was about 6,956hectares. The suitable land for tea crop was about 55,310 hectares and its potential development area was about 14,979 hectares. Smallholdertea plantations was feasible to be developed with R/C ratio 1.73. In order to support the development of smallholdertea plantation some recommendations aresuggested consisting of (1) the government should encourage the development of tea processing industry to increase farmers income; 2) smallholdertea plantation should be extended considering land availability and suitability; 3) the role of tea smallholder farmer groups and privates plantation should be enhanced to develop tea plantation as a strategic commodity in Tasikmalaya Regency.

Abstract:

The Tea Board of India (TBI) has defined a Small Tea Growers (STGs) as an entity having tea plantation areas of up to 10.12 hectares (or 25 acres) without any processing facility since the early 1990s. The mode of production in tea plantations has undergone a major structural shift from a centralized estate sector system to the emerging small tea growers (STG) bought leaf factory (BLF) system, which broadly represents a flexible and decentralized production system. The labour relations in tea gardens are well defined in the organized sector and covered under the Plantation Labour Act 1951. However, the small tea growers (STG) and Bought-Leaf Factories (BLF) specializing solely in tea manufacturing do not have the distinct industrial identity categorized under the unorganized sector in the tea plantation industry. STGs are no longer a small or marginalized group, as they produce more than half of India's green-leaf output while depriving organized-sector workers of the benefits they should get. The moment has come for small tea garden owners to think about their employees' occupational safety, health, and working circumstances. Given the substantial changes in tea plantation methods, the authors sought to determine the scope of collective bargaining for workers in tiny tea gardens in West Bengal's Jalpaiguri region.

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to organize and analyze the records of Japanese tea plantation management in Korea during the Japanese colonial period, and to reveal the hidden goals of Japan and the Japanese Government-General of Korea. This study reveals the intention of the Japanese government and the Japanese government-general to manage tea and tea culture through the management of tea gardens by Japanese living in Korea during the Japanese colonial period. It was confirmed as follows that the intentions of the Japanese and the Japanese Government-General of Korea had an impact on the Japanese tea plantation management. We collected data on Ogawa tea fields in Jeongeup and Ozaki tea fields in Gwangju to review tea field operations and compare the two tea fields. The tea fields in Ogawa are tea fields grown from Japanese tea seeds, and the tea fields in Ozaki are wild tea fields native to Korea. This was revealed in the newspapers promoting the Ogawa tea plantations in Jeongeup and the Ozaki tea plantations receiving warnings not to interfere with the tea business in mainland Japan. Japan and the Japanese Government-General of Korea revealed that there was an intention and purpose to manage Korean tea culture by spreading the lie that Japan started tea culture and tea industry in Korea during the Japanese colonial period.

Abstract:

The growth of Indonesian tea industry requires a serious attention. Land conversion due to weather changes is considered as one of the reasons why the tea industry decreased. This is proved by the declining of Indonesian position as tea exporting country to rank 7. The potential of Indonesian tea plantations is considered to be high due to both quality and quantity. This research is aimed to explore the relationship between production and weather conditions (rainfall, temperature, and humidity) that cause land conversion. Another aim is assessing the dynamic change of the institutional role within tea plantation in West Java. The first research was initiated by literature review and sampling of primary field, meanwhile the second research was conducted by interview and questionnaire in Bandung Regency and Cianjur Regency. The results showed that humidity factor determines the tea production in West Java. The institutional role as a weakened agent in all sector is a second finding.

Abstract:

Soil acidification in tea plantations has become a key factor restricting the development of the tea industry. Biochar reduces soil acidity significantly and has good short-term effects of acidic soil improvement in tea plantation trials, but the duration of the effect and the long-term environmental effects of biochar are still unclear. In this study, the acidic tea plantation soil to which biochar was applied five years ago was studied. The biochar applied to the soil was separated and analyzed for surface elements, and the aluminum form of the soil was measured. The results showed that : (1) Five years after biochar was applied to the soil, the surface aluminum elements of biochar increased significantly, indicating that biochar had a certain degree of adsorption effect on aluminum in the soil; (2) the pH of tea plantation soil increased significantly; (3) the exchangeable aluminum [Al3+] and monohydroxy and dihydroxy aluminum [Al(OH)2+, Al(OH)2+] both had the potential to convert to colloidal aluminum [Al(OH)3], and this conversion reduced the content of reactive aluminum in the soil, thus increasing the soil pH and reducing the toxicity of aluminum to plants.

Abstract:

China is the largest tea producer in the world; however, tea quality and safety issues have caught broad attention due to pesticide overuse in the growing stage. In order to control the quality and safety of their raw inputs, tea-processing firms in China are expanding their own plantations. Does this backward integration (BI) improve the food safety performance of the tea firms in China? Based on the transaction cost theory, we empirically investigate the effect of tea firms’ BI on their food safety performances, using data from 246 tea firms collected via an online survey in 2021. Controlling the basic background situation and firms’ characteristics, the empirical regression results, when controlling for the self-selection bias, support the hypothesis that BI can improve the food safety performance of the tea industry when it reaches the effective integration level, specifically, 80% or higher. Other factors include that the private brand and asset share of the plantation would also help reduce the firms’ food safety problems. Therefore, the government may consider supporting firms’ BI in the development of tea plantations through one-time subsidies and/or land and labor coordination, so as to improve the food safety situation and industry efficiency.

Abstract:

Tea smallholder plantations in Cianjur and Garut regencies have a very massive land function, resulting in the end of the shrinking of smallholder tea fields. The most urgent cause is the increasingly expensive wage of labor and the low price of tea tops received by farmers. This makes the farmers are no longer aroused to cultivate the plant properly. This is dependent on the provision of raw materials for the people's tea agro-industry, which eventually decreases the number of people's tea agro-industry. The research technique used is descriptive survey study. Research conducted in Garut and Cianjur regency, was chosen because included in the center of tea plantation in West Java Province. Sampling was done by simple random sampling method by 30 tea farmers in each area studied. Interviews were also conducted on: officials at government agencies, cooperatives, heads of tea agro-industry, farmer groups, selected purposively. The data and information owned are analyzed descriptively correlative and system thinking approach. Opportunities for the development of tea-tea agroindustry are still possible, in terms of: a) high demand for various processed products based on tea, b) to keep growing demand for tea in the world, c) smart, premium, and e) market support for countries with economic growth high. Challenges in the development of smallholder tea agroindustry can come from: a) human interests and capabilities, b) capital capital, c) land conversion, and d) innovation and creativity of processed products.

Abstract:

Tea is an economically important crop. Evaluating the suitability of tea can better optimize the regional layout of the tea industry and provide a scientific basis for tea planting plans, which is also conducive to the sustainable development of the tea industry in the long run. Driving force analysis can be carried out to better understand the main influencing factors of tea growth. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the suitability of tea planting in the study area, determine the prioritization of tea industry development in this area, and provide support for the government’s planning and decision making. This study used Sentinel image data to obtain the current land use data of the study area. The results show that the accuracy of tea plantation classification based on Sentinel images reached 86%, and the total accuracy reached 92%. Then, we selected 14 factors, including climate, soil, terrain, and human-related factors, using the analytic hierarchy process and spatial analysis technology to evaluate the suitability of tea cultivation in the study area and obtain a comprehensive potential distribution map of tea cultivation. The results show that the moderately suitable area (36.81%) accounted for the largest proportion of the tea plantation suitability evaluation, followed by the generally suitable area (31.40%), the highly suitable area (16.91%), and the unsuitable area (16.23%). Among these areas, the highly suitable area is in line with the distribution of tea cultivation at the Yingde municipal level. Finally, to better analyze the contribution of each factor to the suitability of tea, the factors were quantitatively evaluated by the Geodetector model. The most important factors affecting the tea cultivation suitability evaluation were temperature (0.492), precipitation (0.367), slope (0.302), and elevation (0.255). Natural factors influence the evaluation of the suitability of tea cultivation, and the influence of human factors is relatively minor. This study provides an important scientific basis for tea yield policy formulation, tea plantation site selection, and adaptation measures.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the main problems of the revival of tea production in China in the XXI century. Tea in China is more than a drink. This is the most important element of history and culture, an important article of foreign trade since the time of the Great Silk Road, when there was the so-called Great Tea Road (茶道) — a caravan route that ran in the XVI-XIX centuries between Asia and Europe. In terms of trade turnover, it was the second after the Great Silk Road. Since the beginning of the 80s of the XX century, the promotion of tea culture in the country has been based on traditional foundations. The awakening of interest in tea culture was accompanied by an appeal to some traditional values of Chinese society and their rethinking in the new conditions, which is of great interest to the scientific community both in China and abroad. Currently, China ranks first in the world in terms of tea plantation area and total production, accounting for a fifth of the world's exports. Among the necessary measures for the development of the tea industry, it is necessary to create a modern infrastructure that ensures the optimal operation of tea plantations, the improvement of the technological process for processing tea collection, the creation of new factories for processing and packaging finished products, as well as new domestic tea brands.

Abstract:

Overuse of chemical fertilizers to maintain tea production has caused many adverse effects in tea plantations and largely hampers the sustainable development of the tea industry. Applying bio-organic fertilizer (BOF) to achieve the goal of sustainable agriculture has become popular because of its advantages, such as its pollution-free nature, considerable amount of beneficial microbes and soil-friendly organic materials. However, the effects of BOF application on tea plantation soil remain an open question. Herein, we carried out a 3-year pot experiment with four treatments, including control without fertilization (CK), 100% chemical fertilizer (CF), 50% chemical fertilizer +50% BOF (CFOF) and 100% BOF (OF), to explore the effects of BOF application on soil fertility and bacterial community in tea plantations. The results showed that BOF application could increase soil fertility in both bulk and rhizosphere soils and improve the biomass of tea leaves. In addition, the nutrient level change caused by BOF application significantly changed bacterial community diversity and composition and accounted for 74.91% of the community variation. CFOF and OF treatments significantly increased the bacterial Chao1 and Shannon indices compared to CF treatment (p < 0.05). Moreover, bacterial community composition was dominated by Betaproteobacteria (46.88%), Acidobacteria (11.29%), Alphaproteobacteria (9.69%) and Gammaproteobacteria (9.59%). BOF application increased the relative abundance of Alphaproteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Deltaproteobacteria and planctomycetes and decreased the relative abundance of Betaproteobacteria (p < 0.05). Furthermore, bacterial function prediction revealed that BOF application improved the N and C cycling processes and enhanced the co-occurrence network complexity in the bulk soils. Bacterial community functions and co-occurrence networks in the rhizosphere did not show similar results, indicating that rhizosphere bacterial communities were more affected by the rhizosphere effect than BOF application. All these findings verified our hypothesis that applying BOF in tea plantations could increase the biomass of tea plants by improving soil fertility and influencing the soil bacterial function groups. In summary, we suggested that BOF application could be a promising way to achieve the sustainable development of the tea industry.

Abstract:

Darjeeling’s famed tea plantations are staffed almost exclusively by an Indian Nepali (or Gorkha) labour force, whose ability to advance beyond field labour has been severely limited. In 2008, retired Gorkha plantation managers founded the Darjeeling Tea Management Training Centre (DTMTC). Though it was modeled on similar training programs, DTMTC’s goal had a twist: to prepare Gorkhas as plantation managers. According to DTMTC teachers, the contemporary Darjeeling tea industry remains precarious, stemming from a lack of knowledge on the part of Gorkhas as to how to run the industry. The DTMTC, then, was a novel blend of vocational training and political action. This chapter explores how the institute’s goals were interwoven with ideas of connection between people, plants and moral obligations to care for a Gorkha landscape—a landscape that might be improved with the right kinds of training.

James Taylor’s eventual fame undeniably came from his achievements as a tea planter. Yet, for several years, cultivating coffee, the main enterprise in Ceylon during his early years on the island, was his prime responsibility. The first sections of this chapter describe the broad context of the coffee industry, before focusing on Taylor’s role within it. Our analysis includes the importance of the West Indian connection, Ceylon’s plantation labour force (both Tamil and Sinhalese), the devastating coffee leaf disease, and innovations in manuring, pruning, and engineering and surveying.

Abstract:

The tea industry faces significant operational and financial challenges in the competitive global market, necessitating focused research to support its growth and sustainability. Access to robust data is critical for convincing management to adopt new strategies, and this study aims to provide valuable data for the industry's advancement. The United Planters Association of Southern India (UPASI), representing tea and other plantation crops in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka since 1893, plays a crucial role. The rich biodiversity of the Nilgiris provides an ideal environment for tea and other crops. Still, traditional farming methods often rely on inefficient information dissemination through various means, resulting in outdated or missing critical data. This gap leads to poor planning, unsustainable farming practices, environmental damage, and reduced farmer income.

Abstract:

So far, the history of tea in Assam has largely consisted of the history of labour and capital. These two powerful categories of historical investigation illuminate the complexities surrounding imperial polity and economy of tea. What has remained unexplored is the role played by the Brahmaputra in the making of tea plantations and the environmental outcomes of the industry. The environmental questions include the consequences of the massive forest clearances and of the ascendancy of this domesticated plant over the existing wild plants. Could this newly introduced domesticated plant withstand the attacks of insects or pests? And, finally, can we say the river was instrumental in bringing about these big transformations? This chapter seeks some answers to these questions by describing the role played by the Brahmaputra and its tributaries in this history of tea and the ecological transformation of the plant.

Abstract:

Picking up in the early 1920s, this chapter tracks the shift of radio technology from military to commercial uses. It follows linkages among the changing material conditions for Caribbean workers, the radio industry’s search for materials like mica and bakelite, and the generation of new markets. Having placed broadcasting in its ecological and political contexts, the chapter uses the trajectories of two amateur radio operators, John Grinan, a New Yorker/Jamaican son of a plantation owner and a member of the team which produced the first transatlantic wireless signals, and Frank Jones, an American plantation manager in Cuba, famous for his self-promoting shortwave transmissions to recover the world of the tinkerers’ romance with an ether jammed with distant sounds. It traces the creation of audiences and publics for the emerging technology, arguing that radio appealed to listeners not because it shrank distances, but because it underscored them, demarcating the Caribbean as exotic and remote. Ironically, it was the deeper technological connections that would propel the mapping of these imagined boundaries between the “tropics” and “the world.”

Abstract:

In a commercial society like ours it is understandable that money-makers should be the ones who pay the greatest attention to the implications of economics. Historians have been a breed apart, with most of them (until recently) paying little heed to the ways in which economics affects history. Yet surprisingly, a basis for the eventual integration of economics, ecology, and history was laid in the nineteenth century. The Victorian who tackled history from the economic side was William Stanley Jevons (1835-1882). The distinction made in the previous chapter between living in a area and living on it was a paraphrase of what Jevons wrote about the material basis of English prosperity: "The plains of North America and Russia are our cornfields; Chicago and Odessa our granaries; Canada and the Baltic are our timber forests; Australia contains our sheep farms, and in South America are our herds of oxen;.. . the Chinese grow tea for us, and our coffee, sugar, and spice plantations are in all the Indies. Spain and France are our vineyards, and the Mediterranean our fruit-garden.'" A century before the term "ghost acres" was coined, Jevons had clearly in mind the idea behind the term. Half a century before Jevons was born—in fact in the year the Bastille was stormed by French revolutionaries (1789)—an English mineral surveyer by the name of John Williams had asked, in The Limited Quantity of Coal of Britain, what would happen to the blessings of the industrial revolution when England no longer possessed the wherewithal to power the machinery that produced her wealth? Optimism is so deeply engrained a characteristic of busy people that this warning, like most first warnings, was little noted. It remained for Jevons to rouse the British public in 1865 with the publication of his book, The Coal Question. Jevons's life coincided in time with the period when the nature and significance of energy (in its prenuclear formulation) was becoming manifest to physical scientists. Since energy was needed to turn the wheels of industry, and coal was the most readily available source of energy, Jevons reasoned that the continued political dominance of Great Britain was dependent on the bounty of her coal.

Abstract:

The agricultural sector has an important role in national economic development because of the abundant potential of natural resources and can support economic growth in rural areas. According to the Center for Agricultural Data and Information Systems, the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture in 2020 stated that during the Covid-19 pandemic, the agricultural sector in Indonesia has proven to be a mainstay in stabilizing the country's economy. Until 2020, Bocek Village is the only village in Karangploso District, Malang Regency that does not yet have a Village-Owned Enterprises (VOE). With the Doctoral Service Program (Program Doktor Mengabdi), Bocek Village has established VOE in 2020. The DSP program in Bocek Village aims to create jobs and improve community welfare. The DSP program which is under the auspices of the Institute for Research and Community Service (IRCS) Universitas Brawijaya, is expected to be able to produce Leading Assisted Villages for the development of the agricultural and agro-industrial sectors in Bocek Village. The implementation of the DSP Program in Bocek Village has entered its 2nd year (2021) with a focus on strengthening the role of VOE in developing the community business sector. The team of DSP plans community service activities in the form of strengthening Bocek VOE in agricultural, agro-industry clusters and dissemination of technology and information. An alternative solution for the Bocek VOE business unit is to create a derivative product from citrus fruits, namely orange juice. The raw material for orange juice is the result of the process of sorting ripe oranges that have fallen to the ground. Marketing of citrus fruit juice products is planned by opening a Marketplace that can reach a wider target market. In addition, the potential for online sales can now be said to be more profitable than conventional because it has been supported by the rapidly growing digitalization transformation making online sales and marketing more profitable.
