Orthodox tea is a major export oriented cash crop farming of eastern hilly districts of Nepal. Both tea estate garden and small farmers are involving in tea farming. This article is the outcome of both desk top and field study conducted between the months of June and August 2009. The study found that small farmers sell their green tea leaves mainly to locally established tea processing industries. Tea processing industries have strong role in fixing the price of green tea leaves so that small farmers gain a regular commercial income and also ensure local employment. Production is therefore increasing both at the small farmer’s level as well as at the level of the organized tea estates. Exporting tea to India and overseas countries is potentially a good source of revenue generation; however, there is no developed organized system for marketing beyond India. Most of the output goes directly to India and is sold as an Indian product in the international market.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ttp.v8i0.11510 The Third Pole: Journal of Geography Vol.8-10, pp. 34-42: 2010

Though the tea sector of Assam is primarily dominated by the estate sector comprising of large tea gardens, the relevance of small scale tea plantation can never be denied as nearly 30% of the state’s tea production is contributed by Small Tea Growers (STGs). In fact the quality of green tea leaves produced by the Small Tea Growers (STGs) has outclassed that of the tea leaves produced by the estate sector. Since tea plantation is a technology intensive practice, the growers are bound to adopt certain technology components like artificial fertiliser, artificial pesticide, HYV clone, artificial water supply facility, etc. All these elements constitute a technology package which helps the tea growers to reap greater benefit in tea cultivation. This study is a humble attempt to investigate the marginal impact of each element of the technology package adopted by the Small Tea Growers (STGs) on their annual green tea leave production. Moreover it also tries to figure out the jeopardised effect of the technology package used in tea cultivation on environment and health.

Tea Production

The state of Assam is well known for tea production and among all the tea producing states in India it alone contributes more than 50% of total tea production. Production of tea includes agricultural operations as well as processing and manufacturing and hence it can be placed in both agriculture and industry. Tea has immense potential in generating income and employment. Though the history of Assam Tea is more than 180 years old, the participation of local people in this sector was very limited. Earlier establishment of a tea garden was thought to be a capitalist activity requiring massive investment. It is only in the late 1980s, local Assamese people came to know that tea plantation can be profitably undertaken even in small scale with low capital investment. This paved the way for the educated unemployed youth of Assam to undertake tea plantation in small scale. Since then tea plantation in small scale in Assam grew gradually complementing estate gardens by supplying green tea leaves. In the late 1990s due to various constraints, the estate sector tea production in Assam experienced low productivity with declining tea acreage. This has further pushed the rapid growth of small tea growers. The estate gardens of Assam also became more dependent in procuring green tea leaves from the tea smallholding by offering high price. During the period 1996-98 small tea growers of the state received as high as Rs. 22/- per kg of green leaves which did not last very long. Due to various reasons price of produce of small tea growers has fallen sharply after the year 2000. Since then though acreage and productivity of small tea growers shows continuous growth, the growers often complain about low price for their produce. In this paper an attempt has been made to analyse the trend of tea acreage, production and price received in the non-estate sector tea production in Assam.

: Periodontal diseases are highly prevalent and can affect high percentage of the world population. Oxidative stress and inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases. Nowadays, more attention has been focused on the herbal remedies in the field of drug discovery. Green tea is an important source of polyphenol antioxidants, it has long been used as a beverage worldwide. The most interesting polyphenol components of green tea leaves that are related with health benefits are the catechins. Taken together this review suggested that green tea with its wide spectrum of activities could be a healthy alternative for controlling the damaging reactions seen in periodontal diseases.

Abstract The development of cellulose-based textiles that are functionalised with silver nanoparticles (AgNP), synthesised according to a green approach, and offer protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation and pathogenic bacteria is very important today. In the present work we demonstrate the environmentally friendly approach to obtain such textile material by AgNP synthesis directly (in-situ) on cotton fabrics, using water extracts of plant food waste (green tea leaves, avocado seed and pomegranate peel) and alien invasive plants (Japanese knotweed rhizome, goldenrod flowers and staghorn sumac fruit) as reducing agents. The extracts were analysed for their total content of phenols and flavonoids and their antioxidant activity. The synthesised AgNP on cotton were round, of different size and amount depending on the reducing agent used. The highest amount of AgNP was found for samples where Japanese knotweed rhizome extract was used as reducing agent and the lowest where extracts of goldenrod flowers and green tea leaves were used. Regardless of the reducing agent used to form AgNP, all cotton samples showed excellent protection against E. coli and S. aureus bacteria and against UV radiation with UV protection factor values above 50. The best results for UV protection even after the twelve repetitive washing cycles were found for the sample functionalized with AgNP synthesised with an extract of the Japanese knotweed rhizome. Due to the presence of AgNP on cotton, the air permeability and thermal conductivity decreased. AgNP had no effect on the change in breaking strength or elongation of fabrics. Graphic abstract
